Quit Yer Bitchin

Right, now. Movie houses always whine about how their movie piracy is killing the business, but that the pirates keep doing it because that's where the money is.

Movie houses, here's your chance. Pirate your own films, sell them on the street for a few quid each - less than the pirates themselves. Not only will you make money back that you're losing currently, you'll be able to deliver quality products instead of the fuzzy crap that most people get. Then, not only will you no longer be able to complain about you losing money, but the pirates will be forced to lower their prices to match you. And eventually, the business becomes unprofitable, and everyone quits - except you, because you're a huge transatlantic corporation with wads of cash. So you make more money. And then you have a choice - continue doing it and get a bit more cash early on, or quit, having killed the market, and you're back in business raping the customers' pockets for twenty-odd quid a throw on a DVD. Everybody wins.
