After studying media and wanting to be a part of the industry im against piracy, as it is causing no money for the creators who have put all that time and effort in as well as finding the funding for it.
However i can see how some people might complain about the prices of cinemas as they are costly, but the cinema is a much better experience than a dodgy pirate copy.
Also after having researched about it on the internet and seeing the massive amounts of money lost within the industry over the years is mental and we need to help put a stop to this and gradually cut it down.
- The filming industry lost a profit of £400m-500m in 2003. The industry think it is predicted to rise within the next 3 years to 1 billion due to there being 7,000 markets still selling pirates.
- Also by purchasing pirates you are helping to fund hardcore criminals which are involved in people trafficking drugs, guns and money laundering.
- When you buy a DVD you know that it’s your property and the money has gone to a good cause and will be able to go towards the funding of maybe a sequel.
