Personally, I have a much bigger bone to pick with the recording industry for going after downloaders ... music was once freely shared via radio and tapes at a time when the industry was at its height. Such practices helped the industry when the industry was healthy. The music companies have tried to pin slumping sales on mp3's when the real problems are the price and quality of music ... and the fact that concerts are so expensive that people are rarely introduced to signed music acts via a live format.
The film industry was doing OK in my book by keeping the prices of DVDs within a reasonable range, so that's why I don't download ... I prefer having a legit DVD in my hand whenever possible. But I actually research old "lost" films for a host of sources ... and there are hundreds of films which are floating in limbo as a result of counterproductive copyright laws, incompetence, selfishness, and bad management within these film companies. If it weren't for bootleggers, many of these "lost" films wouldn't even exist anymore.
The people bootlegging Sith right now very well might be capturing a moment in history that we'll never see again ... the workprint/theatrical release. Who knows what Lucas will do to Sith on DVD?
Bootleggers have been a part of the film food chain for decades, and the practice is nowhere near as destructive as the MPAA is making it out to be. To pull such big guns on jawas is far more criminal than the crimes the jawas are guilty of.
