This isn't a new argument. It's one we've been having in Australia (and presumably the rest of the world) for years now.

These distribution issues become even worse for us as there are time where content isn't even available when you want to go actually pay for it.

Then we have problems where content isn't available for months after its release. In a world where we are being involved in conversations that happen worldwide (eg, via Twitter), having to wait several months for that content to even become available (that's if it is available at all) is problematic at best and utterly stupid at worst. EDIT - because of spoilers

Pirating content is just so much more convenient (which I'd imagine is at least part of the reason why its rampant). It shouldn't be easier to get content for free than to pay for it.

Once you've paid for content, you shouldn't be made to feel like a criminal or have a reduced experience, which is what we are experiencing now with those "Pirating is stealing" unskippable ads at the beginning of those region locked DVD's they're so happy to sell us.

No wonder they think they're losing, its because they are - and its their own damn fault.
