Who wants to go to a theater, try to ignore loud children, annoying people, pay for overpriced, artery-clogging buttered popcorn just to sit through Bride Wars? The pirates constitute such a miniscule amount of the movie-watching world that the film industry has overcompensated exponentially, I'd guess, by spending millions on anti-piracy.
