The vast majority of people are not downloading movies and the ones that do, wouldnt be buying that movie in the first place. The reason why mainstream DVD sales are down is because of the ease associated with dvd rental places such as NetFlix and RedBox and the ease of cable on demand. In this economy why bother purchasing a DVD you will watch once when its super easy to throw it on your NetFlix, watch it and send it back and get the next one. It's the same reason why family friendly DVD's are selling better than ever. Kids watch movies over and over and over...and over. It's worth paying the $20 to buy a DVD that will be watched 100 + times.
As with most things in life, dont try and overthink it. Its common sense.

Exactly right.
You have pretty much explained my own patterns, and that of people I talk to for my niche and on forums. They will buy good content from the site if you have it.
People are not going to settle for garbled videos on some tube site if they actually are buyers. I know I won't. I will go buy it, assuming they actually watermark their fucking shit and I can find it. However, for some reason people thing you are going to get the thief to pay for porn, the same as RCAA thought they were going to.
You have to face the fact that some people are broke ass thieves and are going to steal your shit regardless to get their rocks off, or their cyber kudos.
