Of course I do, IMO it takes a lot more skill and hard work to create a video game than it does a CD, I'd probably feel bad ripping off a video game company.
The best they will be able to do is just make a mafia game so they could just name it something else and avoide the whole "games based on movies suck" negitive image it will get right from the start.
As if the mainstream gamer cares about things such as review scores or well... quality in general. Look at Enter the Matrix. HORRIBLE game, tons of bugs, terrible review scores. However somehow it went on to sell well over a million copies. Most people assume that just because a movie is great, so will the game even though that's rarely (but sometimes) the case.
/me laughs at the thought of actually paying for music anymore.

I've been a Nintendo fanboy all of my life, but lately I've branched out to all consoles, but I agree you do have to like how Nintendo seems soley focused on games. Only problem is that innovation doesn't always sell, ala GBA & GCN Connectivity and Virtual Boy, and Nintendo seems to be designing the "Revolution" based on innovation. It's a pretty risky manuever on Nintendo's part and hopefully it'll pay off.

Damn, someone beat me to using the Enter the Matrix example :( damn me for not refreshing my browswer often enough.
