...but it makes studio executives tons of money.
According to the article Most Pirated Movie of 2009 ... Makes Heaps of Money, Star Trek, despite being pirated more than any other movie this year, is poised to make well upwards of 100 Million Dollars.
Couple that with the fact that twice as many movies were made in 2009 than 5 years prior (and if you factor in independent releases, even more), and the movie industry making record profits in a terrible recession and it suddenly becomes rather baffling what impact piracy is having at all.
It's a pretty interesting read. Also, I have never actually seen a kitten cry over movie piracy. They mainly cry when Metallica music gets downloaded.
