Problems is

People don't download a clip, they download the whole show or movie. So effectively it's the same. The difference is time and effort. Downloading songs takes seconds where as downloading movie takes hours if not days depending on how popular it is.

I've downloaded serveral movies. Main reason for doing so is that I can not buy them in region 1 encoding. I'd like to buy them but "THEY" don't seem to think there is market for the product in region 1. So I download them. The way I see it, no harm done. It's not like I they'd get money from me as they won't sell me the product. So no loss there.

I'd gladly buy the product as find the copies don't sit well in my collection. They are better than nothing but they don't compare to legit officail copy bought and paid for.
