>Sometimes I wonder how movie studios (and music labels) make money.

The vast majority of people get most of their content legally.



You mean like netflix, hulu, amazon video subscription, spotify, pandora, last.fm, turntable.fm, or all the ad-supported podcasts and blogs out there?


No DVDs et al.


What's a DVD?


It's what you buy second-hand from your local used media store so you can legally watch the video contained thereon, while giving the finger to the MPAA.

Enjoy it while it lasts.


Considering the rate of piracy in China and India, I don't know if that's true.


The vast majority of people in the target market (i.e. the US). I don't think that the RIAA and MPAA are really targeting China and India... at least not in a heavy way.
