Studios move to block piracy of films online | CNET News.com
"the Motion Picture Association of America, began an advertising campaign, with the theme "Movies. They're Worth It." It profiles, among others, a set painter, stuntman and makeup artist."
The thing that pisses me off about those stupid ads is this: set painters, stuntmen, and makeup artists don't get a cut of the gross or even the net. They get a salery or a wage. They get paid the same ammount if everyone or no one sees the movie. Or is the MPAA trying to subtiley threaten us? Are they going to stop making movies period if people pirate them?
In collage I was the lucky recipiant of pirated versions of Episode 1 and the Matrix. I still saw the Matrix 4 times in the theater... Ep1 I saw once because it sucked ass. Good movies will always draw crowds because a good movie is best sceen in a theater with digital 9.x surround sound and a huge screen. That will always be true.
