So let me get this straight.
Are you saying that you're going to invite a girl to come over and watch a movie. But the two of you are going to sit their with VR headgear on?

I might be old fashioned but the reason I invite a girl to see a movie with me is so that we can make out. Or is this VR gear a plan to just get rid of the need to actually have a woman with you on a date? (serious question not trolling)

I don't think the movie industry is in any kind of peril, but I think most people could look at these numbers and see that things aren't going in a good direction for them.
Obviously they see where things are headed. Personally I don't blame them a single bit for what they're doing except to say that they should be far more vicious. All of the Hollywood studios, all of the record companies, all of the magazine publishers, etc.. etc.. etc.. Should get together and adopt a zero tolerance policy against piracy.

Sue literally EVERYONE. Sue the pirate that downloads the stuff illegally... Sue the store that sold him the computer... sue the store's sales rep... Sue his Internet service provider.. Sue the police for not investigating... Sue the site that he downloaded from and their owners.. Sue the site's hosting company... Sue the government for not fixing the problem.... In short SUE EVERYONE

Once the court systems are so backed up and money hungry lawyers start their feeding frenzy the piracy will come to a stop in no time at all.
