Who would really want to watch a crappy camcorder version with a shaky picture and out-of-sync audio? And good point about the record-setting box office numbers. Spider-Man 3, Pirates 3, and Shrek 3 all will make a couple hundred million worldwide, so yeah -- what are the movie studios crying about. You know what, I think you’re right about movies too.

I think you are correct in that movies are the only thing I have an issue with downloading. Even then, the movies people get while in theaters aren't anything you want to get excited about. They are all those old school record the screen with terrible video that you can download. Hardly the same as the theater experience, and I would wager a guess that movie revenues aren't down at all. When you see new weekend records being set every couple months for the Blockbusters you really can't say they are losing money. I certainly wouldn't want to watch the downloadable versions of movies still in the theater either so I go to the cinema when I really want to see a movie, or just wait until they come out on DVD and get them from Netflix ;).
