Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!

The courts could care less about porn -- wake up an smell the coffee ...

Who cares about cash split on the films distribution royalties the bigger point is being missed.

Google is streaming new theatrical release movies and they are encrypted -- this may turn out to be a bigger turning point in the first-run distribution chain.

As for what has already been infringed (stolen) -- that is lost. Move forward and don't repeat the mistakes.

Yea why else would I go to a movie?
There's nothing made the last 20 years that I would bother to go see.
It's the entire "get to know each other better" thing that includes dinner before the show and deserts with coffee afterwards.


A movie is cheaper than a Broadway (or off-Broadway) show plus depending on the movie she picks I get an idea of how she thinks. Also quite frankly I'm not interested in any woman that fucks on the first date. If I was interested in that I've got a list numbers of girls that I've worked with.

wow you know better than sony and paramount and 20th century fox and the ENTIRE showbiz industry! :1orglaugh I mean heres all these ultra successful multi billion dollar companies claiming piracy is pure theft and rationalization for people to feel good about "sharing" other peoples work but then YOU come along and show them how its not :1orglaugh

I mean governments all over the world make laws specifically to prohibit such behaviour and courts all over the world put in jail such people, but still YOU can see past all the bullshit and YOU know what is best for these multi billion $$ companies...well not just YOU but also millions of jobless kids world wide! :1orglaugh

show us the way oh mesiah!

did I say they did? did anyone say they did? why have you posted that? What does it have to do with your original post? Are you drunk? why would you throw that in as if my quote was anything to do with what courts think about porn?

I can imagine the court scenes now though...

why did you steal that money?

the cash register was open...

ah, our bad. you're free to go.

Real simple: if there is a lock, lock your stuff up or it will get stolen.

I guess I did not read the title of this thread as a simpleton.
Looks to me like it is about why this film was able to be webcast when it was first run -- because it was encrypted and streamed. Just like Netflix is doing now with after theatrical release. Just like we will be streaming live using this technology sooner than later.

http://www.mpaa.org/why-copyright-matters/ hasn't amounted to jack-shit in court and porn copyright gets laughed out of court. So, there is an obvious technological advance and you *(the posters) in this thread want to talk about the chump change being made on this film (currently in the red I would think).

Letting customers download your copyright porn in a copyable format is the same as my leaving a $100.00 bill in the street in front of my house -- expect it to be stolen.

It was pretty good!

if you run over car and see cock, than cams fuck off my drawer

This made me a little sad.

It's something my grandmother used to say all the time.

I think TV and the advanced technology in home entertainment have a lot more to do with Hollywood's declining revenue then piracy.

We're in the Golden era of TV. Not only in the number of channels but the quality of programming. Almost every pay channel and some basic cable channels have awesome shows (MadMen, Breaking Bad, Homeland, Newsroom, Boardwalk, House of Cards etc etc).

Netflix and Hulu allows you to watch old movies and binge watch old shows. Personally I'd rather watch 3 episodes of Homeland versus go to the theater and catch the Interview.

Back in '99 you didn't have a 75" HD TV and surround sound in your living room. Whats more attractive? Paying $50 for you and the wife to go to the theater and get popcorn/drinks and then have to deal with all of the dip shits talking, texting, feet kicking your seat. Or wait 4 months, pay $3 and stream the movie to your big screen, sit on your couch, drink beer and pause it when you have to take a piss?

On top of that the main demo for Hollywood is teenage boys. Always has been. Now those teenage boys are too busy playing Call of Duty or GTA online with their friends.

I agree fully that there are many reason for their decline in revenue including all of those that you have listed. Not to mention the internet in general. A person could (an many do) spend hours just browsing random sites, watching cat videos and looking at memes. There is a lot more competition.

Which, to me, makes piracy that much more of a big deal. They are already struggling to attract customers/viewers, when they lose some to piracy it hurts that much more.
