Bluray has a hard time ahead of it. HD hasn't caught on over as much of the world as we would like to think, beisdes all that you have said, so it is fighting over a smaller piece of the pie than DVD was in its infancy, and that will make prices harder to control and bring down to a level more people will buy in the long run, as well, giving pirate a big edge.

Throughout SE Asia you find bootleg DVD's, and mostly dual-layer DVD-9's shrunk to single layer DVD-5. And ripping Blu-ray movies has been going on for a long time, torrents have been full of them for a couple years.
