I agree with you. The industry doesn't want anybody pirating their stuff, but at the same time their Marketing department is constantly looking for ways to make more money. This is a great example. Of course, from a Marketing standpoint, this is a fantastic idea. Release many versions of the same movie and charge different prices for them. But, you and me feel the pain in our wallets, so we're going to look for a way to ease the pain, i.e. Kazaa. This will never go away. The companies are making so much money in the current mode of operations. What incentive do they have to look at the little people (their CUSTOMERS) and cut them a break?
