Canada should get tough on this!

Just to be clear...I do NOT recommend watching pirated movies. Quite simply, I believe the whole concept and idea is wrong. People actually go into a movie theatre and video a new release movie, and then they turn around and sell it dirt cheap. No wonder the movie industry is furious...and dare I say it...petrified of this! I think that this practice actually does a LOT of harm to the whole movie industry. The more people that get a hold of these movies, means the more people who will not spend their money seeing the new releases at the theatres. Many countries have taken some solid steps at outlawing this practice. However, Canada lags behind. There are tons of little stores that specialize in just selling these movies. I believe the government should take a stronger stand and put these places out of business. This is very similar to what has happened with piracy in the music industry. Now the big releases (Pirates of the Carribbean for instance) will not even preview in Canada. That hurts us movie lovers who would not even dream of buying one of these inferior pirated movies. Any thoughts about this? I would like to know who thinks this practice should be allowed and those who see it as a destructive process that must be stopped. cheers
