Sales and rentals of DVDs and Blu-ray discs fell by 7% to $10.9bn in the first nine months of this year compared with last year, according to the industry body The Digital Entertainment Group; and the British Video Association says DVD sales fell 5.6% last year. The fall was most severe in new-release titles, which account for 25% of the market, with sales crashing 15% in 2009.
I was just talking to a friend of mine, we were talking about he lack of funding for his new film and the fact that his last film had been pirated and download thousands of times but no income....
When you post A Miracle Guitar man as evidence of the new creativity it makes me feel you don't understand the work that goes into making films.
And if this is the best youtube has given culture.... oh dear !
What is at risk, losing thousands of films and music like this...
As a 100 million dollar film would spend 100 million on advertising and marketing these are matters that effect your profession as much as content producers.
Putting aside this bill.
What measures do you think should be taken to stop piracy ?
