Not to mention the fact that very few of those that upload material to websites would be willing to physically distribute DVDs on the street, even if they could make money doing so.
The people who upload them and the people who profit from them have a completely different mindset. I frequent a site that trades ROIO content and everyone there monitors Ebay for people selling them and has their listings taken down when they come across them. They have the opinion that such things should be freely available, not charged for. You do sometimes see people selling original content on Ebay, but they soon get liberated and then the listings get pulled.
