No, I don't have a problem with this.

What about the cost to our prison system for housing non-violent criminals? Do you have a problem with that? The taxpayers are the ones who are going to end up paying even more so big business can keep on making big bucks. The movie industry is not going to pay to keep violators of the law fed, housed and clothed.
We're still getting the shaft when it comes down to it, by paying too much at the theater and then paying taxes to keep some guy in federal prison who did nothing to warrant such a harsh punishment.
