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. |
If there was no piracy Box Office taking would be greater. These are the taking of the box office and most of the money goes back to the US for US films. The situation in the UK is that returns on films (all monies ) have fallen year on year for the last 5 years.
3D films are difficult to copy. and few can watch outside of a cinema.
Google is at the hub of a distribution network making money directing traffic to content legal and illegal.
Google is not democratically controlled and has the powers you want to deny to a government.
