LOL! These studies are so off the mark that to even give them any
thought at all is perposterous. I myself am an active downloader of
movies and tv shows and still spend about the same as I did on movies
before you could obtain them in these ways. My downloading hasnt
curbed my actual purchasing at all and to ignore these kinds of
relevant facts in a reports such as this one makes the entire thing
dismissable. If its a good and worthwhile film, I buy it. If it isnt I dont.
Downloading will never change that for me.
The studios love to blow up the numbers for damages caused by
downloading as it only helps their case in courts. Most of the stuff I
end up downloading I would never buy in the stores regardless of
price. If anything it has put more pressure on Hollywood to actually
release quality releases and to quit using thier pathetic use of double
dipping in the vide market. Its funny because it was actually the double
dipping by the studios that got me downloading to begin with. I was
sick and tired or spending 20 bucks on a DVD only to have them
release a better version 6 months later. The special edition, ultimate
edition, super duper edition is all BS. Its a pathetic marketing
technique that is used to take advantage of people who really like a
particular release.
The major motion picture studio''s are corporations who care only
about the bottom line, making money. Maybe if they stopped screwing
people over with these marketing techniques and actually paid
attention to what people are saying, piracy would be less of a problem
than it is now. Regardless, piracy is as much thier own fault as anyone
else they blame.
This report is bogus and anyone in the business knows it is.
