As soon as a London company announced in the past that it was providing the very first legal service to watch Vampires Suck online, video store owners all over the world began being concerned regarding their foreseeable future.
All things considered, common people just about all have a larcenous streak. Why not get something for free? A key reason is that downloading movies on the web without paying is illegal — a violation of a number of federal laws. Don’t feel any risk? Remembers the very public examples that law enforcement made of unauthorized music downloaders in the past. So, if you’re downloading movies illegally, consider if you really want to hear your name on the cable news shows?
And here’s another prediction: the illegal download sites will boom as well. Why not download for free? One major reason is that it’s illegal. Law enforcement made very public examples of a number of illegal music downloaders several years ago. Do you want to see your name in the headlines? Terrible quality is another reason. Viruses are also common with free online movie downloads. The jerks who create viruses have to dream up clever ways to spread them.
Hollywood lost about $2.3 billion in revenue to internet pirates a few years ago. The total annual income of the big studios that year was just under $45 billion. So, it should be no surprise that Hollywood is battling internet movie piracy with gusto.
On the other hand, uploading the film and downloading it onto home computers are crimes. Hollywood lost an estimated $2.3 billion to internet piracy just not too long ago. Another $3.8 billion was lost to bootlegged DVDs and other “hard goods” piracy that same year. Hollywood’s total annual income that year was estimated to be just under $45 billion. So, with $6.2 million slipping through their fingers it shouldn’t be surprising that the movie industry is battling piracy with increasing vigor. Some would say China is the capital of movie piracy. Indeed, within hours of a film being released nationwide in the U. S., illegal DVD copies are available on the street in Shanghai and Beijing. About 90 percent of DVDs sold in China are bootlegged. However, Hollywood reports that it even loses even more money because of internet piracy in North America and Europe.
Which means that, without a doubt, Hollywood is going to be wise to continue adapting today’s ever changing technological know-how. A number of studios have worked out a deal with a file-sharing site that rents movies, which may be downloaded, but which self-destruct after viewing! Where will that go? Only time will tell.
