The subject line of this thread is perfect in it's irony. There is no rampant piracy except in the feeble minds of the RIAA and MPAA. The MPAA itself released it's box office receipts recently..was the rampant piracy the cause of all kinds of drops in revenue for the movie industry? Oh wait..their revenue went UP over 5% from last year. Damn those imaginary pirates.
