The way games were pirated in the late 90s affected some new features in new games. Such as multiplayer modes (regardless of genre), 'always online' social features and DLC. Personally I am fond of DLC because it means if you want a little bit extra of a game, you can get it. I must admit though, I am not fond of DLC which is already on the disc. I much prefer Rock Band DLC where if a brand new song comes out, players can download it for a reasonable price. Hardware consoles now have "firmware" which periodically update to block cheaters and stop roms working.
Pirating movies which are in the cinema seems pointless to me, since you get a washed out picture and bad sound. DVD rips of movies however are much more desirable, and naturally are one of the most downloaded things.
