I do not wish to encourage nefarious practices, but this sort of releasing does just that.
$100 (which is what many will have to pay for As Good as it Gets) is too much for a film.
But $100, rip it to a HDD to play back on your TV/Blu-ray Disc Player/Media Player, then sell it to someone else for $100 means you'll effectively get it for nothing.
Could anyone be blamed for doing that, given this ridiculous release policy?
Studios are their own worst enemies. I'm not one of those people who thinks every release should be $2, and I'd pay £10-£15 for As Good as it Gets, as would many other people...more tham 3,000 of us, I'd guess.
