Well then, if you're not going to spend the "hours", then forgive me if I take your "evidence" as bullshit. You should know not to post something when you can't back it up (your skill in this is incredible).

The MPAA in court records, more than once, has admitted that they can show no proof of any type, that piracy has damaged the Industry at ALL... AND they can not explain why the Industry has grown when piracy has grown as well - and yet it damages them.
Prove up or move on. And if you have shown us anything with this particular post, it's that you want us to believe there is ANY correlation or causation, if what you're saying is even accurate.




[quoteFirst, the movie industry has gone up and down (not always up) from day one.. Second, from the mid 90's to the mid 00's, the movie industry has VERY MUCH grown. In the 00's it hit it's peak and in 09 it broke all records.[/quote]
Really? After you adjust for inflation? Spare me. Moving on.

By looking at the charts, you could say Piracy made it explode...
What the hell does one have to do with the other? Do you have any deductive reasoning skills? That's like me saying your stupidity contributed to the increasing rate of homosexuality in America.

It is how piracy works... sorry that you don't understand it.
Right, because you've shown to really understand it. What with your arguing against logic, reality, and common sense.

They are like 5x larger than the 80's and 'almost' doubled from the 90's.. nothing but growth for both the music and movie industries over the last 20 years.
Apparently you have no idea how to differentiate between real growth and inflated growth.

If this movie can't be pirated and Titanic wasn't pirated, they are equal. The "amount" of money makes no difference then, it's the amount of tickets sold.
Nobody said this movie can't be pirated. As usual, you have missed the entire point. I'll try to dumb it down for you. Avatar IS pirated. Avatar came out during the apex of piracy, yet Avatar is making a fortune. Had Titanic been pirated, it wouldn't have done nearly as well.

Quote:
When Avatar sells more tickets in the same time frame, then it can claim leadership. But that hasn't happened and it wont.
Which is irrelevant.

People are not going to see Avatar for the plot.... they are ONLY going to see it for the 3D and Graphics.
You'd have to proof this bullshit assertion but nobody will be holding their breath.
