This keeps up, most people won't even pay to go watch a movie or buy the DVDs/Blu-Rays.
Why risk getting arrested for viewing something before you pay for it.
If a movie can make over a Billion $$$ in this day where ticket prices are the cost of 3 days worth of food, I can see not many people supporting the movie industry or the music industry. After the whole Napster thing when many pop-stars and musicians lost out on a lot of $ due to their fanbase being largely through fans sharing music and after hearing the music went out and bought the CD. The fans retalliated and didnt buy music for years. Which cost the music indusry Billions. They forget, it's the consumer who decides who makes it in the world, not the companies.
You'd think they'd learn their lesson 12 years later on how to approach file sharing. You cut the head off on this, the consumer will retalliate and not spend $$ in a very devastated economy trying to get out of a recession the past 4 years. The RIAA and MPAA are only killing themselves, I say let them. They need a rude awakening.
I guess one can argue that maybe they want their hands on MU since they make 100s of milions a year. Maybe they just want their hands in the cookie jar. :P
All about Greed. I had no idea that Greed and having a monopoly on Music and movies was in the US constitutional rights. I thought having a monopoly on anything was against the laws in the states. To me that is what SOPA and PIPA is there for is to create a monopoly on the music and movie industry.
Ok, done with rant.
