I didn't get enough sleep last night, so maybe my logic abilities aren't at 100%

How does releasing the movie earlier in a country that is known for pirating movies, reduce piracy?

Why would they combat piracy by showing it in the piracy capital of the world?

They should pay affordable retail price that matches their income, and they would watch the movie. People like to buy stuff that they can afford.

And with a median income of a couple peanuts for several of those countries, that doesn't stop someone like MS still saying each illegal copy out there is a loss of the US retail price.
