It's a matter of common sense to not support piracy. If indian dvd companies don't sell enough dvds the movie producers should sell their movie rights cheaper, investing less and less in the movies, till disapear.
If you wanna kill Bollywood, keep on purchasing pirate dvds. This has nothing toi do in how bad are the dvds they make.
Hong Kong movie industry is dead due to piracy. In 1999 they made more than 500 movies. Now in 2002 they made 40, and almost all are dirt cheap made in digital video.
VCD piracy stop sales of legal product and video companies had to lower the prices in a 80 % to beat pirates. The profits were less and less with these prices, and their dvds & vcds were worse, as they can't invest in them due to their poor profits in sales. So, today, you have 5 or 6 big movies a year, 20 regular butget, and the others are grade Z filmed in video, projected with video players in theaters.
You think Eros will make better dvd if you stop buying. Eros will do other things more profitable than dvd if you keep on with piracy.
Ah, maybe you think pirates will be making your dvds, right? WRONG. As happened in HK, when profits stoped in dvd, and movies started to be shite, they moved to other business like celular phones.
Today, piracy in HK is 90 % less in HK dvd/vcd, as nobody is interested in pay for bad movies.
