Yeeeeaaaahhh, except most of that money was made at the box-office...you know, before the film is packaged up in a format that's easily and cheaply distributed by anyone with an internet connect.

Not that it didn't still break DVD and Blu Ray sales records though.

That's the point. DVD sales are icing on the cake when things are working as designed. If films were forced to rely on DVD sales alone then they are incredibly unlikely to turn a profit.

Thus...piracy of a movie, in an easily piratable format, after it's already made most of it's money anyway...not that big of a deal right now. It won't make or break a movie or, more important to the point, fundamentally change the way movies are being made.
