If they cut back on their prices, a lot more people would come out to see a movie. I remember when we were kids, we'd see a movie 25 times and pay each time. Now days, kids can't afford that because everybody is too friggin greedy.
I remember being a kid and actualy purchasing a music cassette/dvd, instead of recording it off the radio because the quality was better and it wasn't so expensive. I have no clue how much a music CD costs because I'd rather pirate then pay an outrageous price for a fancy cover sheet.

Kudos Fat Tony! your post about warez software is IMO right dead on.
But a movie theater although the piracy perspective might be part of it has a fairly costly infrastructure to maintain as many retail models do. It a little unfair to say "lower the prices, its all greed". Business are in place to make a profit and depending on the model may need to adjust pricing. I am supposed to make as much profit as possible as long as my clients see the value in our product/service.
As a small technology house even with our 300k in servers i still have less functioning overhead (Rent, HR, etc) when compared to a similiar revenue business which is retail.
Your msg is sound, i feel a retail comparison is just not apples to oranges.
