I've found an interesting article on online piracy just now and I would like to share it with all of you.
Can internet piracy result in more and better movies? "Of course, not!" is probably our stock reaction. By illegally downloading and sharing films, pirates steal the revenue that would otherwise reward and encourage film-makers--or so we are told by lawyers, economists, and lobbyists for Hollywood studios..more (http://www.moreintelligentlife.com/node/719)
Most of the time whenever we see the word online piracy, it is usually associated with all the negative effects BUT for the very first time, I'm actually reading an article that says that online piracy is good.
It is good in a sense that it helped a small Indie film to go BIG on the screens of America. This shows that online piracy can actually play a role to "promote" small movies. Everything has its pros and cons, although online piracy has brought a lot of loss and harm to the entertainment industry but there are people who benefited from it. Could there be a chance that online piracy can actually be something that can benefits everyone if used in the right way? Feel free to leave your comments on what you think about the article and if you agree or not.

Well i agree with you, there are pros and cons of online piracy.. atleast in a smaller amount it helps some people.. thanks for sharing the info from the article with us ..=)
ReplyDeleteWow this is the first time I know that online piracy actually is beneficial. Online piracy definitely supports indie films which has low budgets by independent and talented directors and producers. This indirectly helps the movie and film industy in a way to soar to greater heights in producing outstanding films.
ReplyDeletei agree on what you say...
ReplyDeletesometimes some movie we have to find it in some of the online piracy cause they do not screen it in malysia or they actually ban it for some reason...so online piracy gives us the opportunity to get it...
