No, they just need to make the products worth more to buy than to
waste time downloading. I don't download theatrical movies. I could,
easily, the day they go into theaters. I used to, in fact. Now, I
know that I can buy them on DVD in 2 months for less than $15 so it
just isn't worth my time and bandwidth to waste downloading a bad
quality 700mb movie. I've got better things to do. Certainly there
will always be people who are going to download rather than purchase,
but there isn't a damn thing anyone can do that's going to change
that.
