no most people pay $1 for 10 chinese movies in crystal mall

fan ban has always been the #1 piracy for asians

pirated movies has always been the culture for asians ever since VHS/laser disc/VCDs its always been prevalent and "legit" companies are still able to fend/prosper for themselves

blaming piracy is just what people who can't deal with the times do because they're bad at business
look at the music industry, they were able to fix their mistakes of overcharging and providing music on an unpopular medium rather well
(the gut wrench reaction for most businesses is "its not may fault, lets look for something to blame" when its they who can't move with the times)

MAL, if anything, is losing business due to alll the chinese stores around it even seemingly legit stores that sell fan ban discs + all the bad films that have been coming out of asia
and they're losing out to a medium of online access (like blockbuster losing to netflix and amazon)
not to mention the chinese movie channels that we have now that actually show new movies
