Now in some cases with the release of movies in 3-D tickets sometimes cost up to twenty dollars per ticket. Who wants to pay that outrageous price when they can download the movie for free on their laptop or computer? Also, Eager moviegoer in which the movie isn’t released in their region will look to download it from someone in another region in which the movie has already been released. In some cases people who don’t live near a movie theater or like in a foreign country where the movie isn’t released are more likely to download the movie.  Another reason why movies are illegally downloaded is because they want to watch the movie on their time. With the advancement in technology people are now able to download movies to their computer or laptops and are easily assessable and may times their theater going experience is tampered fellow moviegoers texting, talking, or even standing up. Rousses States, "the greatest resin for why movies are pirated is due to excessively high ticket prices Ticket prices have doubled in the last decade, making going to the movies a near-luxury pastime, especially for families."
