I am going to say right now that pirating is what proves to the movie companies that they can sell a movie for as much as they do, that they can pay actors millions of dollars. Should they really get pad millions of dollars, not necessarily. But you want it and supply and demand follows in suit, there is more demand than there is supply and the price goes up, fact of the matter is pirating means there is a demand for the product. Just cause you pirated it doesn't mean you didn't want it (why would you have pirated it then, duh). So if you really want prices to go down you have to not want the products, but that is never going to happen so just deal with it, Pirating is wrong (period). DRM is moral, it may not be like but it is legal and good for everyone, truly. If the movie companies stop making money because pirating gets out of control, no more movies, fact of the matter. It lets them choose the price, and if you don't like it, sucks for you. Also, not a single one of you can tell me that if you where head of one of the companies you would be anti-DRM.
Even if they made 50% on each sale, they would have to sell to 1.2 BILLION people, as in 1 seventh of the world, or nearly every family on the planet to get their money back....WITHOUT profit.
Notice that it is the UltraViolet Digital Copy, not just Digital Copy, it doesn't say that you can download and share it and give it to as many people as you want...you can use it on twelve devices, so think about this
1-phone
2-tablet
3-Computer
4-laptop
5-TV 1
6-TV 2
7- TV 3
8- Spouse's Phone
9- Spouse's Tablet
10- Children's Phone
11- Children's Phone
12- Children's Phone
