Insiders blamed for most online movie piracy
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994166
Insiders blamed for most online movie piracy - Most pirate copies of popular movies circulated online are the result of leaks by industry insiders rather than home or cinema copying, according to US research. A team from AT&T Laboratories and the University of Pennsylvania created software to track movies in the US box office top 50 uploaded to file-sharing networks between January 2002 and June 2003. Seventy-seven percent of films uploaded during this period were apparently created during production or distribution. Some simply appeared online before their cinema release - meaning they must have been leaked.
well doh..... the movie industry has nobody else to blame but themselves

ahaha.. maybe they deliberatly release movies on file sharing networks to justify themselves increasing prices!
being able to download a movie and watch it before it comes out at the cinema.. still wont stop someone seeing it.. (unless the movie turns out to be crap.. and then its not really the pirates fault is it!)
the cinema still offers superior sound and video no matter what anyone says.. and that is why people go to the cinema.. if a movie is good.. and worth watching i would still see it at the cinema.
the only problem is ticket prices! i simply cant afford to see every movie i would like to see... so i have to make a few choices.. which will i watch from bootlegs (that i dont download, 56k i get mine from friends) or do i wait till they come out on dvd (which i get for free ) or do i see at the cinema.
its time for the cinemas and studio to realise that by jumping up ticket prices and slandering the bootleggers they are only doing themselves more harm, cause i know there are alot of people like me out there!

Well, all I know is this: The cost of making blockbusters is not going up as fast as the price of tickets. And if box office numbers aren't going down, then what's going on?
