fail all you want, but that's ultimately what's wrong
there've been studies that were even posted on RS b4 in regards to piracy and it only accounts for a very very small portion
but those who lack in business like to pretend piracy accounts for 100% of their issues
edit: a Simple perusal of MALs website would even tell you why they're going out of business... they're charging $43 for a blu-ray movie.. not even a chinese movie for TRON!!
Hell I can go to YesAsia for better prices or even Amazon.com for comparable asian content (and YESASIA is expensive! in comparison to sites like dddhouse etc )
if you want to argue the size of companies and their buying power; there are small online companies that sell the same things for far less
MAL is in a dying industry that's been overtaken by the online world and the large brick and mortar companies and a population that wants their content for cheaper (especially in a shaky economic environment)
I take it the 3 of you are probably in your teens, so its expected that you don't quite grasp the bigger picture of what's going on and you blame what you find relevant (piracy) but in the bigger picture piracy is a very small portion of their troubles
you're also assuming everyone who downloads doesn't buy either (and this is absolutely untrue)

If you are talking about how online stores sells movies cheaper than MAL, think about this. How about you ask ppl if they are willing to pay $29 for a blue ray when they can just download it. 8/10 ppl would jus download if they are not planning on keeping the movie for future uses. How can stores stay in business when ppl are like that. Most ppl may say " i will buy it" but how many ppl actually do 'buy" it. Its just their saying that they support but arent pitching out the $ to buy it.
