I have an unlimited card for the cinema, Netflix on PC and smartphone and use Lovefilm for hiring DVDs and games so I think I give plenty to the industry. If I download something via bittorrent its something I cannot get by a "paid-for" means. Like everyone else has said, a download is NOT a lost sale, more like a potential sale. Here in the UK Virgin media has just blocked access to the pirate bay, I never used pirate bay much anyway but still hate the fact its been blocked, once ISPs start blocking sites its a slippery slope.
