$4 at the rental store doesn't put the the movie in your collection any more than 10 bucks in the theater. That's what most downloaders are going after. If they really like a movie, they'll buy it. If not, their download didn't cost anyone anything, they would have never paid anyone to see it in the first place.
Not saying I approve of piracy, just saying that the economic impact is not the billions the entertainment industry claims.
