| Piracy could help NBC, if they use it I hate to be devil's advocate, but I haven't heard any positives for pirating. If I download a movie or show that I wasn't going to pay to see anyway, there is no loss to the businesses, but say I like it and tell 10 people that was a great movie or show and they go out and purchase it, or I like it and now want to see it on the big screen and take my family with me. On something I had no intentions of buying turned into several sales. Many people that I know that download things, do it so they can view it before they purchase, so I agree if NBC uses the time and technology for benefit to themselves, they could find ways of advertising, ie. more product placement in the show itself. Added features on the DVD's, get people interested in the product again. Why should I pay $10 a ticket for five movies I might want to see, when I can view all of them and decide which I might go see or buy on DVD when it comes out. If it is a good enough movie, I like to watch them over and over again, the problem is lately the product isn't that great. |
