...Stealing from Whom? Your story on digital-movie piracy, "Hollywood Robbery" [Jan. 26], left out one of the biggest reasons for the black market in bootleg copies of films. People are sick of getting ripped off at the theater and the DVD store. When we see movie stars getting millions for making one film and studio execs living like movie stars, the purchasers of bootleg DVDs say, "Who's getting ripped off?

"I think our viewers are intelligent enough to make their own decision as to whether their children should watch or not," complained executive producer John Wells. Hollywood is a favorite target in election years (in '92, Dan Quayle vs. Murphy Brown; in '96, Bob Dole vs. Ice-T; in 2000, Joseph Lieberman vs. Eminem).
