Re: [Phys-l] A geek's observations on "Avatar"

Not to blur an ethical issue, but  Joel illustrated here a business 
decision of the kind also made by stores who place sale goods on free 
access to customers, realizing that they invite 2 or 3 percent losses 
from pilferage, in inviting increased sales and allowing reduced store 
manning by this means.

If a movie theater experiences 2% box office losses from lack of resource
of this kind, they have the option of lifting seat prices by 3 or 4%
- say from $12 to $12.50  per seat....
