if that statement were true you should need to prevent the simultaneous on tv and dvd.
if those other issues were enough to keep theaters competiting then you would need the fair use of access shifting, and the problem of torrent piracy would be solved by the sale of dvd and the comerical interuption version of the tv broadcast.
with torrent of the tv version coveirng the timeshifting rights of the viewers
the fact that you are bitching about piracy means that the statement is bullshit.
the fact is the non 3d sales are because the monopoly of the content has been extended to the medium and the choice of home viewing non 3d is taken off the table.
