I'm not sure I buy into this argument. When I go to a theater to see a film, it's because I want the theater experience of seeing a film - the giant screen and the surround sound.
Watching low-quality (or even high quality!) copies over the internet isn't the same. And if it's the sort of movie where it's okay to see it, tiny and fuzzy, on my computer monitor rather than on a theater screen, it's not the sort of movie I'll see in a theater, anyway.
Not that this is the sort of logic I'd expect to make it by any politician. But going to a theater, you're definately paying for something other than just film content.
