Maybe, but by releasing a dvd to the market they ensure that you can buy/download high-quality bootleg copies (digital media doesn't loose any quality when you copy it). Without that master dvd available the best you'd be able to find would be a low-quality cam version, which would most likley be replaced when the real dvd his the stores since nobody enjoys watching cams. It just doesn't make sense from a preventing piracy standpoint.
Yeah, right! More like lets see how many people we can dupe into having to buy both.
Bastards!

Personally, I don't mind the early release of Sin City. I bought it (new release price was $15), and I'll sell it to a local used purveyor sometime before the SE hits stores this Xmas for like $6-8. It's pretty much like renting, minus the late fees. Plus, I'll watch it twice between yesterday and when I sell it. Rental = $5 + $5-15 in late fees. Even that Blockbuster thing that's $20 screws you, they bill you for the movie after 7 days, and will refund the billing before 30 days but charge $1.50 restocking, plus you don't get the pretty boxart when you buy it from them.
