mbr, you said "It's like watching it at your house, with your equipment, for free. At the theater you pay for the seating, the screen, the sound, the experience - just as you would pay for a concert." You're exactly right. The theater carries an added value though, just as you described, which is why people still flock to theaters rather than just waiting to rent the DVD. The RIAA should think about that, and begin adding value to its product rather than punish its customers for not buying. Sales of singles have declined, but there's been no reason for them to to go up. All you get is a song that isn't really that great. The labels should sign better artists and add value to their product (like DVD-A), then sharing wouldn't be an issue. People would have more reasons to buy. That's just good business.
