No That's bullshit;
I own a dvd-store in Belgium and I can say that downloading is becoming a serious problem overhere.
So you buy every movie you want to see? Bullshit !!! Last month I bought 40 different titles which were not released in cinema. Let's say you want to see 10% of them. So you'll buy 4 dvd's this month. Even if YOU do so, not everybody does that.
Do you really think that downloading doesn't affect the movie industry? Stupid !!!! It's affecting everybody in the movie industry.

yes, the get a piece of EVERY rental that's done. There is a back end program that tracks all the rentals and they get pennies back for each one.
Which is how Blockbuster and Hollywood Video can come out with HUNDREDS of copies of a movie, because they are tracked, a percentage of them saved for after rental resale, then the rest are destroyed to keep scarcity.
Even the small mom and pop stores have to keep track of the VHS/DVD rentals because that's how the system works. It doesn't work just this way in the US, but around the world

This is 100% true. If my dvd-store is making less money, all the major movie companies are making less money. (but I'm sure this will not bankrupt Hollywood
)
