4. I would prefer something on this order
Pay double the ticket price and watch it streamed on the studio's own player in the comfort of your computer chair. Embed a mild virus that replicates nonsense code and eats your hard drive's free space every time you replay it for the type of cheater who figures out how to download it. Erase all the nonsense code along with the movie when he discovers it and deletes the movie.

The higher ticket price will make the theater look attractive, along with the experience of a night out with friends, really the point of going to a theater.

There's nothing they can do about filming the screen, either from a computer viewing site or in a theater, which is where most bootleg first run films come from. The quality is lousy, so my idea of a first quality, first run film on the computer screen might be workable.

I'm just playing with my head here. I'm sure people who really know what they're talking about will shoot it all down, so have at it.
