#1 Sign of a dying culture if you ask me.

#2 Maybe this will eventually be a good thing for those of us tired of seeing US movies "dumbed down" to mindless explosions so they'll sell in markets where English isn't a primary or secondary language.

#3 I think this could work in our favor in the long run.

If Hollyweird can't make money selling their schlock to foreign markets, and aren't making money here either, maybe they'll have to start making good movies again. Or go down the tubes. Their choice. Won't hurt my feelings either way.

And we certainly don't have to worry about the crap the "protected" film industries in other countries making any money in this country.

And the market around the world for (possibly bootleg) DVDs and films over the internet will soar as people try to find real entertainment, not the crap a protected film industry will put out.

What's the downside?
