    60 Minutes Report On Movie Piracy – An Interesting Video

    60 Minutes, the American investigative television newsmagazine, recently did a report on movie piracy. Specialists on Intellectual Property and movie industry big shots were interviewed and the documentary highlights how much of a threat BitTorrent and online downloading has become today. It also mentions how piracy is linked to drug dealing, child pron and all other bad things in the world. Personally, I found the video to be quite humorous as it was completely biased and full of bullcr@p. It didn’t feel like an ‘investigative’ report at all – for me the whole thing looked like one big drama with bad actors.

    so much for investigative journalism, this was so amateurish i couldn't believe my eyes, another example of why we shouldn't believe mainstream media as they produce biased & unreliable information all the time

    piracy problem? nothing new really, remember how we got warnings about it on VHS tapes, just before the movie would start, as a matter of fact, some time after internet started spreading, the piracy (street piracy) started declining rapidly so afaik today it has substantial levels only on asian markets - everyone else is likely to download it off the net (for free ofc and pirated can't beat free, let alone any profitable industry)

    drugs on monday, trafficking on tuesday...pirating on friday ROFLMAO, what a load of bull**it

    then they talk about profit loss (wolverine was a nice counter-example), when in fact those numbers wouldn't be reached in reality anyways, as we know that every customer of a pirated media isn't automatically a buyer of the same media if there was no pirated version

    the matrix wouldn't be made?? nonsense, any good script in hollywood is like gold nowadays since recently the script quality is quite awful

    why the sales loss don't affect major actors? simply because they get paid (or make salary deals) in advance, regardless of the movie's final quality or subsequent sales - to some extent it is the same with other employees in the movie production

    those who watch cam's aren't quality conscious? well, that means they wouldn't go in the cinema or buy a movie dvd in the first place

    the overwhelming majority of pirated material creators & users do it for fun and make no money whatsoever from it, they just save money from wasting it on overrated hollywood propaganda filled movie cr*p

    Soderbergh is so much up the ars* of entertainment industry that he is blind to the reality, he should be concerned about making better movies since imo he is sleeping on past time success (girlfriends experience, che & oceans 13 were all far from excellence)


    the digital age has shown its trends - entertainment industry can change & adapt or stay rigid & face its demise

    very true. Mainstream media is heavily influenced (and controlled) by larger organizations that don't really desire to have all the information made available. In turn, it comes to brainwashing the public and having them believe what someone else want's them too.

    quite true too, to some extent. It's about making money rather than something, IMHO, that is more 'quality'. In my personal opinion, I find that non-Hollywood films, such as those made in Russia, South Africa, and even in Europe, have a qualitative flavour quite unlike that seen in Hollywood.

    Change is hard to come by when organizations (and people too) find that it's too difficult to adapt. Most especially when it involve loss of coin, yes??

    The movie industry makes tonne's of coin.

    Regardless, who makes the real profit??

    It's not the actors.

    It's not the directors.
    God, from the mount Sinai
    whose grey top shall tremble,
    he descending, will himself,
    in thunder, lightning, and loud trumpet’s sound,
    ordain them laws.
