Want to stop piracy? Make access to movies (music, books) as easy (or easier!) than going to Pirate Bay and charge a reasonable price. And if that cuts into profits, then perhaps your other expenses are too high.<\/p>\n

"I believe in paying money for products that earn it. I do not believe in a pricing and distribution model that still thinks it\u2019s 1998. And I really don\u2019t believe in censoring the internet so that studio and label executives can add a few more millions onto their already enormous money pile.<\/i><\/p>\n

Yet another brilliant article that says what the MPAA and RIAA refuse to hear: piracy is a service<\/i> problem.<\/p>\n

"The seven step, ten minute download process (which will be about ten seconds when US internet speeds catch up with the rest of the world) is the real enemy the studios should be trying to tackle.

They still believe people are going to want to buy DVDs or Blu-rays in five years, and that a movie ticket is well worth $15. Netflix is the closest thing they have to an advocate, but the studios are trying to drive them out of business as they see them as a threat, not a solution. It\u2019s mind boggling."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
