Porn - something different, you have a boner, you need an immediate satisfaction, no matter if you pay for it or not, you grab your DVD that you bought, you go to the site that you already paid for OR you load up the illegal tube site- in a couple of minutes, you are done.
You won't be watching adverts and previews for months picking your game that will cost you your pocket money and that will amuse you for months.
We are in a bit of an opposite position now - the pirates make the rules, not our customers.

Aye, very different.. I'm not sure if the article stated it, but game companies also don't produce games for every language/country or send it to them. So that makes it much harder for piracy to happen.
I also have found most games have online key regs that contact the servers to verify, pretty much a piracy catch for pc games/software at least.
I think pirates rule as little as the rule games, it's how we look at it. We can block all asia/east euro from our sites/members area. We can offer seamless drm protected movies too. We can slow piracy down, to almost none.
It still happens, just like it does in the millions with games.
They say they don't protect the games, but they do when they don't send them to china, a market that won't buy and is more likely to pirate. Which is a major source of our piracy.
The difference is, we set ZERO limits and expect people not to pirate.
