What about movie stars? Do they deserve 100 million dollars pay checks for less than a years work?.. Cut down on the actors pay checks!

And what about us non-americans? Why shouldn't the canadians download it, if that causes more cash flow to canadians city? You've angeled your write-up for the americans only. I don't see a single reason there why I, as an non-american, shouldn't download these movies.

Some of the best movies I've ever seen has been low budget. And I don't think that a decrease in budget sizes will lead to great scripts not being made, but I think Hollywood will be forced to head back to the storyboard, in stead of focusing on special fx's and mindless action scenes.

And as most others, even though I can be considered a movie-pirate I still spend a lot of money on buying DVD's, renting movies and going to the cinema.
