Exactly.

My sympathy, if you can call it that, for Big Media/Hollywood evaporated when they brought out DVD regions. That and all the constant special, special editions of Star Wars etc. Talk about paying for something twice, three, four times over...

The biggest gift to the world was Microsoft leaking leaking the video compression tech onto the internet, that and the arrival of broadband in around 2004ish.

As has already been said, until you can go onto a legal site and get everything immediately, then piracy will still flourish.
