This development will devastate the movie industry. George Lucas says he doesn't want to make movies anymore..would rather make short films for tv. No one will want to sink millions of dollars making a full length movie if it's stolen.
Think about what the actions of a few will do to the masses. Say goodbye to new full length movies.
"George Lucas says he doesn't want to make movies anymore.."
I say good riddance! Let the true artists make the mainstream movies from now on. You will see once people get accustomed to the higher standards, they will actually pay $10 to see a movie, and gladly buy the disc.
You know, if a movie is good, I'll buy it. I own a large library of Akira Kurosawa flicks, all of Neon Genesis, a good number of Miyazaki films, a few reels of Steve McQueen, Smith's Jersey saga, the two-hour miniseries of Adama, as told by Moore (not Michael), the story of Mua'Dib and his sand-people, the... squishy misadventures of an Irken Invader by Vasquez, and as soon as I find a copy of it, Whedon's Serenity will join their ranks. But I'm not going to pay $20 for The Phantom Menace. I'll just watch it on cable (not pirating, but I'm still not paying). When a good movie comes out, I'll shell out to buy it. Like A Beautiful Mind, or the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Trilogy, a perfect example of how to get people to buy DVDs.
Just like the VCR destroyed the movie industry originally, the audio tape destroyed the music industry, and the photocopier destroyed the print industry.....

Because millions of dollars guarantee a good movie.
Wait, no.
