access shifting a cam would simply fill that unfilled viewing slot (be equal to seeing it in the theater) if the movie was good enough then you would buy the dvd.

Look at it like this though. There are many movies I have gone and seen and never purchased the dvd or rented. There are many movies I have rented that I never went and saw in the theater as well. A good example. This last week I was sick so I caught up on a bunch of movies I hadn't yet seen. I watched Slumdog Millionaire, The Reader, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and Revolutionary Road. All of these are movies I had never seen, but heard good things about so I rented them. Had I downloaded those movies I wouldn't have rented them, I would have rented something else that I wouldn't have already seen. So had I downloaded The Reader I would have skipped renting it and instead rented something else and The Reader loses a sale because I downloaded it. Is that not damages to the company that produced/distributed The Reader?
