Three Strikes, DMCA Letters Won't Work > Record profits are not the entire story

said by scavio:

Okay, I hate what both the RIAA and MPAA do to try to combat piracy, but linking to a PDF showing box office receipts are up doesn't tell me the whole story and it shouldn't be presented that way. DVD/BR sales and rentals are a big part of their income as well and that doesn't take that into account.

In all honestly, I was hoping that they would be making less money. As of now they can say that their efforts are working because of the money they are bringing in.
