If you go on Torrentfreak and you read the comments on any article that talks about a ruling/event taking place that is anti-pirating and you will see dozens, if not hundreds, of people posting there about how they will never pay for anything. They rail against the producers of movies and music and say that the big companies are too greedy and need to brought down and how they are pirates for life. These people don't care if it is available for them to buy, they are just going to take it anyway.

you missed the point if access shifting was a fair use right
and the movie was released on every medium at the same time
the freebie people could still get it free on the commercial tv station
the dvd/ondemand/movie theater/commercial tv/ release would happen on the same day
no profits from extending the copyright monopoly to medium
but 100% of the content distribution profits would still go to copyright holder.
Which is what the law has always intended anyway.
