Had there been piracy during Titanic, Titanic would have made only a fraction of what it did.
If you could pirate 3D Avatar, it would be bigger... the more piracy (ie: social chatter) the bigger the movies are, statistically provable and used against the mpaa in court.

It being 3D hasn't made me want to go see it, at that Moms and Daughters, Boyfriends and Girlfriends aren't going to watch it at the theaters 10x times. And even with DOUBLE the ticket prices today and no Piracy to help, Avatar still isn't going to pass Titanic.

Think of that, it's like Avatar has to sell HALF the tickets... it has nothing on Titanic.

It's a bunch of nerds buying into it, the star track dorks... that have the attention span just long enough to last to the next fun toy to call cool.
