> I should just take refuge in your fancy-house

To further your analogy, it costs me approximately $0 to make an exact copy of fancy-house, it travels over the internet to you, and what you do with your copy doesn't affect me in the slightest.

I am very willing to give you a copy of my fancy-house under such a scheme, and you are completely welcome to do with it whatever you want.

You are living in this entitled fantasy world. How do you believe this doesn't effect film studios? Everyone who pirates a film is someone who could have been a paying customer. Instead they choose to break the law. An alternative option is to not watch the illegal films!

Either don't pirate, or pay for your media. People shouldn't steal.

Maybe they should be patient and wait until the films come into the public domain if they're too cheap to pay.

then maybe copyright should be limited to 5 yrs instead of life + 129 yrs.
