It's not a slippery slope through the method that it is performed now.
Torrents are still tempermental because people can just choose not to seed them. Most feature length movies are several, several gigabytes in size and can take days to download. Plus, not everyone in the US has a broadband connection or even a computer. Computers may be common place, but I know a few people who still don't have them. And I am not talking about seventy year olds.
Maybe if a dedicate website with a few petabytes of memory on their servers, plus no restrictions on file size or download rate along with no fees. Then... yeah, I can see some rise for concern, but this doesn't happen because that site would be sued into oblivion. There are some websites with feature length movies on them, but most are just shaky cam and are not defined in the way that I described. Plus, those sites host those videos off their own servers for the most part so that the legal ramifications fall upon the uploader and not the site themselves. Pretty smart but still nowhere near the level of effectiveness required to hurt the movie theaters.
