agree completely. star wars is a load of BS. guys in helmets fighting with tubelights and talking funny. agreed, that made tons of moolah. but not everything that's successful is also smart (best example: dubya). to me lucas' most significant contribution is ILM. and star wars is an escape for those whose real world is so insanely boring, they desperately need some fantasy to kill time
obviously if they didnt make such a stink about illegal d/loads of movies, its going to grow even faster. and it would be plain stupid to not do anything about it till the numbers start to look "significant" enough to take action.
why would anyone be insane enough to blissfully ignore a growing problem until it grows much bigger and takes up a heck of a lot more of your resources to fight it? thats like saying dont worry about crime in your neighborhood as long as its petty theft and start taking action only when someone's car gets stolen.
