That may have been the case at the beginning, but there has been little or no changes to business models or distribution methods over the last ten or so years to encourage purchase.
Take for instance Disney who continue to have a totally ludicrous vault system where they lock away movies for an unspecified period of time, artificially restricting the market. If you miss out on a movie when the vault is open, bad luck.
They continuously bleat about how nefarious and evil piracy is, but do nothing to reduce it except bankrolling more copyright trolls and spending vast sums funding bought US senators in attempt to make the world change around them.
