I just checked Fury to see the quality of the rip and supposedly it's a screener copy, so it's slightly below DVD quality and supposedly has 5.1 dolby digital and is less than a couple GB in size, so is highly compressed. Some people have upconverted it to 720p but it's still the same crap quality.
I think most people that would download and enjoy watching something of that low quality that are the type that would not waste the money on a theater ticket anyway.
Where they really lose the money has to be in bluray sales when the good quality rips hit that are 12+GB and have DTS master audio. There's really no reason to buy the bluray then, except to keep yourself honest and to support the studios.
