Internet Piracy

To what extent does the Internet piracy pose a threat to the film industry?

Piracy has always been always been a issue for the film industry, but now in our contemporary society, Internet piracy is the biggest the industry has ever seen. Internet piracy, has become a big problem to the industry, this mean they are losing money, and the problem with piracy is worse than it has ever been, just because of the Internet.

The way modern technology is evolving means that any thing the film industry are doing to prevent piracy such as putting the films in 3D are not working, as the technology Is being developers that allows people to pirate them still. People can still pirate the film from torrent websites such as pirate bay and torrent hound, these websites are seen as organised crime so they get shut down occasionally by the FBI. But it is not long before the websites are up and running again. 

Piracy also make it easier for people to watch films from home, so they can watch it with there friends and family. Piracy is most common with people of younger generation. The reasons behind this is due to fact they are to young to see the films in the cinema, so they resort to piracy to watch them and they can have there friends round and make an event of it. 

As piracy is organised crime, the criminals make money from this, this is one of the biggest threats for the industry, as people are making money from the pirated films the industry are not making any money's from these film, this means people stop paying to see the film, this means a decline in film profit so this is why you can only see blockbusters at cinemas now a they know they are defiantly going to make money from then, they also release the films in 3D as well to body there revenues. 

Internet piracy, has become a big problem to the industry, this mean they are losing money, and the problem with piracy is worse than it has ever been, just because of the Internet.
