That's why lawsuits are for thousands of dollars or more when someone is sued for copyright infringement. When someone steals a DVD no one really cares.
I'm sure some fuckturd will come in and say "but everyone they shared with wouldn't have bought it!" The truth is though if only 10% would have bought it that's still a shitload of money in most cases.
