Wired News’ Brad King notes that bootleg copies floating around the Internet aren’t putting dent into the box office sales of blockbusters like Spiderman. King attributes it to the theater experience of these films’ massive special effects, and I’d agree. I could see myself downloading Spiderman or Attack of the Clones because I’m lazy and haven’t found time in my schedule to drag my ass to the theater. But having tried to download movies and finding that it takes more effort than theater-going, my laziness is much more likely to result in not seeing the movie at all.
