Piracy is as Piracy Does - JSQ
Interesting note here
about how the MPAA is blaming piracy for 9% less revenues last year.
Why is it always piracy?
maybe Lucas is right;
maybe the era of the blockbuster is over.
If so, blaming the customers for demonstrating a market need for
something else delivered differently won't solve the motion picture
industry's malaise.
Me, I did go see Peter Jackson's blockbusters, but precious few others.
There are good Hollywood films out there.
I saw Crash twice: once on an airplane and once on a DVD I bought.
I never considered going to a movie theater to see it.
Why put up with talkative audience, overpriced drinks, and the possibility
of being arrested for carrying a cell phone that can record movies?
The Internet is not the problem with movies. The big risk the motion picture industry is facing is in sticking too long with a business model that is outdated.
