"The MPAA, which says that illegal file sharing costs the film industry more than $2 billion annually..."
Am I the only one who is tired of hearing this?
Where do they get such an outrageous figure?
How about if their business models didn't suck, they would do a lot better?!? How about selling DVDs and CDs is a time long gone and *dead* (especially over $10) --- this isn't the 1980s; you set yourself up for failure *every* time. Time to own up RIAA, take some responsibility for why this is happening. Cross-Market, focus on live shows, events, eContent (with quality production, cheap and easy), spin-offs, and advertising. Get real talent instead of manufactured lip-sinking fools. We are more mature now, we can tell the difference.
Think, adapt. You represent the artists which inspire creativity yet you are the most monolithic organization ever known and are reaping what you sow. | |

I'm sick of hearing it too, if they never had the money, they didn't lose it !
If it were actually costing them $2 billion/yr, wouldn't they be bankrupt by now ?
I go to the theater, I buy DVDs, mp3s, and the occasional CD, but I can understand piracy, companies like the MPAA and RIAA are just to frikken greedy, if they charged less for their product, they'd actually make more money by selling volume, but they don't see it that way. The same goes for software developers, they charge way too much.
edit: Also, isn't reading anyone else's mail, be it physical or electronic, a federal crime ? | |
