You can't stop people from sharing this stuff, and in reality, it's probably helping his sales, since it's basically free promotion for him.
He seemed pretty sure that he'd been losing sales.
I doubt that. If 1000 people see his film on Google Video, and 50 decide to purchase it on DVD, that is 50 DVD sales that probably wouldn't have occured had those people not seen it online first. Nobody is going to buy a movie they have never seen before. It's not like you can go rent the DVD at your local video store. The only real means of distribution is on the Internet.
