I also showed you how UK box office is much better now than 10 years ago. Despite piracy having increased.

All films are equally easy to copy. Piracy seems to have little to no effect on revenue. At least according to box office figures.

I find it surreal that an industry that is posting huge amounts of revenue, despite a massive recession, is trying to claim that piracy is ruining them.
(And google doesn't distribute anything, btw).
So despite the worst recession, and the evil pirates, they still make *that* much.
