Never have you said anything more crazy. The people who are not file sharing because they don't want to be revealed obviously think differently.
More people buy, the more people will release to sell.
The rest I assume was a joke.

you were the one who pointed out that the VCR was responsible for all those new income streams for your industry.
Had sony lost "timeshifting" case none of that revenue would have happened.
every fair use win has caused an explosion of new technological innovations and revenue generating capacity. (vcr -> home viewing marketplace ,format shifting -> cheap solid state disk ...)
when/if "access shifting" comes about and the consequence is that movies would have to be released in theaters/dvd/bittorrent at the exact same time to be protected by copyright law. Movie theaters will be forced to differentiate based on technology, which can work in their enviroment but is not technologically or economically feasible in the home (yet).
so movies will be filmed in 42 bit color so that movies in the theaters will look 3D without having to wear stupid glasses.
Aromas will be piped in and sync with key visual sequences in the movie
12 points of sound articulation will happen for the movies.
ultimately those technologies will become cheaper and more efficient and they will migrate to the home, but all of that is being stopped because movie studioes can hide behind copyright law to protect a fundamentally lacking entertainment experience.
