Hell the true innovators were and still are the pirates. You can
download the full version DVD of just about any movie and burn it to
DVD. If
the user doesn't have a broadband connection they can rent the movies
and
copy them very easily. That's not to say people wouldn't buy movies
it's
just that it might not make much money.

There's nothing innovating about stealing. You can download a
watered-down version of a DVD (without the 5.1 or DTS audio encoding).

Watered down?? No 5.1 DD or DTS??? I don't think you have been looking
in the right places!

Maybe you can enlighten me then?

I have a friend (who shall remain nameless) that occaisionaly supplies
me with videos from the web in AVI or videoCD. I have yet to see one
that is as good quality wise and a normal DVD. Never have I seen one
that comes with true 5.1 audio. They are normally compressed down to a
stereo audio track or surround sound audio which is not true 5.1 audio.
