How much is a sensible price for DVDs? You can get them from £7.99 in certain stores.
Of course, on P2P, you can get them for free. But, look at it this way. Yes, there are a lot of people lining there pockets in the Movie industry. It's there to make money, and unless you allow the people that finance the film to make a return on their investment, they won't invest in films. No investors, no film.
It's also worth noting that if enough people thought the same way you appear to, then the result would be quite simple. People would stop making movies.
One final thought: If you invested several million pounds in something (Film, music, anything), wouldn't you at least want your money back, even if you wanted for forgo any profits?
