That sure wouldn't be a bet I would take. I don't completely blame the MPAA, though. They saw what happened to the record industry and don't want the same to happen to them (any more than it already has).

Of course, that is not an exactly analogy even though they both sell entertainment content. If you download a song you've essentially got the same thing that is on a CD. A downloaded movie video is not the same experience as going to a movie theater.
