The EU did a major study on pirating and then (apparently) tried to bury it because they did not like the conclusions, Basically that with the exception of Top-Tier Films, pirating did not harm sales much, and in fact the study suggested piracy might actually increases video game sales. The margin for error on the study is huge, so I don't think it's the final word on the subject, but I agree with the idea that pirating is a bigger issue for Hollywood blockbuster movies than it is for video games.
