So, how many people are actually employed in the movie industry? Not that many. 374,000 in 2010 -- and that includes both full and part time workers. And that's really not much different from the 392,000 in 1998"
"Congressional Research Service Shows Hollywood Is Thriving" TechDirt
First off, despite the industry's regular attempt to play up its contribution to GDP and employment, the report found that the combined GDP contribution of both the "motion picture and sound recording" industries was a whopping 0.4% in 2009. Back in 1995... it was also 0.4%.
"(1) in the case that the counterfeit good has similar quality to the original, consumers have extra disposable income from purchasing a less expensive good, and (2) the extra disposable income goes back to the U.S. economy, as consumers can spend it on other goods and services."
“effects of piracy within the United States are mainly redistributions within the economy for other purposes and that they should not be considered as a loss to the overall economy.”
"Does Internet Piracy Really Hurt the Economy?" Big Think:
"The “core copyright industries” have, unsurprisingly, shed some jobs over the past few years, but again, compared with the rest of the economy, employment seems to have held relatively stable at a time when you might expect cash-strapped consumers to be turning to piracy to save money."
But wait, wasn't Avatar the highest-grossing film of all time?
Doesn't Hollywood STILL sell put out blockbusters in theaters regularly? Don't a lot of people STILL watch shows on TV? What's the point of bitching and crying about 'piracy'? It's just greed, pure greed. Is the entertainment industry REALLY 'losing' all that much?? Was the record industry REALLY "losing" that much in profits when Napster came along?
So-called "piracy" is the wave of the future! It's inevitable. You're not gonna stop it, so why try? INNOVATE and figure out better ways to increase your revenues from 'lost' profits. Don't waste money lobbying and suing people, for christ sake. And the amount of profit or revenues "lost" are so much less than these assholes claim. Besides, the "lost" profits aren't actually COSTS that the companies themselves spend but UNREALIZED PROFITS. "Potential" profits that didn't happen
If I buy something, it's MY property from then on, right? Why SHOULDN'T I be allowed to give it away to whomever I want? Just b/c it's online, and I reproduce multiple copies, I'm a "criminal" or "thief"? That's just playing semantics...
God forbid the LITTLE guy get a little power, not just these big media conglomerates, acting as gatekeepers. If you're THAT AFRAID of a few middle-class folks here and there downloading a movie or 2, you need to reorder your priorities and innovate better.
It's not "piracy!" It's copying. Quit making regular folks out to be 'criminals.' There's a clear diff. between someone who sells fake prescription drugs, which can be deadly, and someone who simply downloads a movie or 2.
Wow this film didn't half remind me of intense propaganda which could be related to such propaganda experts just as Goebbels - that's right, the nazis.
This is a complete fail! At least make a credible ad because your story does have a small backing, but overwhelmingly it fails.
I'm not even American. The creation of SOPA will cause a massive shift in online presence to other countries, hopefully the UK where we can take the tax from companies such as facebook/ twitter. YES PLEASE!
none of us willing to bpay for a blu ray movie for a high price, no one wants to buy a game for 60$, no one wliilng to buy itunes albums for 20-80$, fuck sopa ill still help people who cant afford the money to entertain themselves
The bill only lets the rich billionaires become richer. Maybe if they payed actors less and used that money to hire more people, there wouldn't be jobs at risk from pirating in the first place. Instead the actors are multi-millionaires and the cast is living off of next to minimum wage.
[* This comment is currently being reviewed by the Federal Government *]
How exactly does this affect jobs, but I will agree piracy is still bad. Anyway, this SOPA is an absolute abomination to the First amendment and the constitution. It needs to be defeated now!
WTF , are they going to start WW3 ? I'm personally from Malaysia and I would freaking want to take a gun and kill THEM (SOPA , PIPA) . Did they though before people outside USA download items for free not just because it is free but they are really very poor .
Stealing jobs and American innovation? Are you fucking kidding me? So Romeo Martinez can illegally download a job from the internet and keep me from getting it?!?!? OH NOES!!!!!!!!
I really have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Like, it's supposed to not make sense, right? It's just a collection of buzz phrases to get old people upset -- "stealing American jobs", "phony medications", "foreign websites".
The way I see it: If they didn't want this theft of their products to be going on, they would actually do something. They shouldn't go crying to the government because their goods are being stolen. They should just do shit the old fashioned way: File a fucking lawsuit. That's all they need to do. They just have to later show the damages made by the group and bam, it's brought down. We shouldn't make corporations a branch of government for something we can do now.
This is pure propoganda. The SOPA bill is written by lemmings that don't understand how the underlying infrastructure works, and thus HARMS the Internet MUCH MORE than it helps stop piracy. It BREAKS DNSSEC, the very protocol that was invented WHICH FIXES THIS PROBLEM.
You wouldn't steal our Right's ? you wouldn't steal our Freedoms ? You wouldn't buy an American Flag made in China, maybe those rat bastid's from the Mpaa and Riaa would, or maybe just maybe , they'd pay off our politicians to do it for them
You wouldn't steal a car? You wouldn't rob a granny?? You wouldnt hit a child over the head with a sock full of dimes and take their lunch money??? Oh dear, I thionk I just ran into Poe's Law of the Internet.
The law might do something about digital property rights but it will not do ANYTHING about counterfeit goods and drugs. Another snow job thanks to corporate interest.
So to "protect American jobs" they are going to impose restrictions on a major industry, one that generates thousands of high-skill jobs every year and billions of dollars in revenue? Its pure BS.
Hurr Durr! Piracy is bad and this bill is about stopping piracy which i know because it says so in the name and it must be good even though i haven't actually read the bill but America! *Goes back to playing Angry Birds*
I deeply apologize for the lack of punctuation. I was merely staying in character.
@spessmahreen are you serious?! gtfo of here :I first off, this bill was created by corperations and the movie industries. The president did not have any hand in this bill's making just like with NDAA's. As for the 'Democrap' statement, at least thwy are doing more for the american people at this point than Republican is, with all of their bickering and focusing on their interests and the rich's interest rather than help woeking Americans that need less financial pressure.
This is all Obama's fault, nothing like this would have ever happened if you Democraps would have voted for John McCain, a REAL American who was out to protect the American people.
Now they want to send the last remaining hope of the US, the tech industry out. If congress destroys my home Silicon Valley, I will defect to Switzerland.
Guys this shit can't pass... how am I going to download my medication, I can't afford that shit...
God America sucks, they only employ people overseas, big business is tax exempt, we cant get on a plane without being molested apparently, and if we every try to use our rights and protest these injustices they pepper spray us or (Now thanks to NDAA) label us terrorists and lock us away.
The government wants mindless working drones to line their pockets even further... it's so sad =\
"they're stealing american jobs"... pro tip motherfucker, most rich pigs got rich and stay rich by outsourcing work to other countries. how's that for a double standard?
Nice way of trying to manipulate the people by saying it steals jobs. Instead making bullshit advertisements how about making jobs not trying to keep your money!
Fuck big money, Fuck lobbyists, and especially FUCK the ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. Why do these fucks get a say in running the internet. Seriously folks militia time is now.
On a side note does anyone run a bbs [dial-up] that has a fido-net backbone. Would love to have a back-up number to send/receieve messages when the internet goes black ;b.
lol wtf? Using piracy to "steal American ideas and innovations"? I guess if you call downloading some music that's from America "stealing ideas." Stealing American jobs? PHONY MEDS? WTF who has ever pirated fake medication? And how is it stealing American jobs? Are there Americans who need jobs in the industry of making phony medications? Because, you know, pirating phony medications is so much worse than making them, right?
This is one of those few videos that gets loads of down-votes but is actually very relevant and important for people to see. Thank you @MossMe89 for taking the bullet.
Wow just another dose of fear in a political ad. Scary stuff indeed because if you ask anyone in this country who actually does the innovation, they aren't worried like the idiots who just make money off good ideas but lack creativity themselves (the media companies).
Hilarious, the blood of the flag had nothing to do with protecting the finical interests of mega-corporations. Congress has been purchased by the highest bidder.
I also love how most of the subjects on the commercial apply to the hollywood or music industry! Other people such as video game companies don't give a rats ass about this!
It says it will stop online piracy, that it will create jobs. LIEZ! Nothing can stop online piracy! You will only dent it while hurting others. And no, I do not support piracy! Piracy is awful. But this bill can not be passed in its current form. It will harm innocent websites like youtube. All just so a couple more movie tickets will be bought. Also, people commenting on this video, its not going to be enough to dislike this. Contact your lawmakers to not support and spread the word.
@MossMe89 your supposed to like something if you want to support the up loader for uploading it. Clearly he does not support it as he has written in the description that he doesn't. He just uploaded it just for us to see.
This fucking retarded Music and Hollywood fucks are going to destroy the internet, and dumbshits are going to support just for its name, and for its 1% of effect which is against piracy.
can't tell if number of likes are for uploading the video or came from scumbags

This is one of those few videos that gets loads of down-votes but is actually very relevant and important for people to see. Thank you @MossMe89 for taking the bullet.

Sometimes I wonder if politicians wear condoms when they're fucking the American people.

Wow just another dose of fear in a political ad. Scary stuff indeed because if you ask anyone in this country who actually does the innovation, they aren't worried like the idiots who just make money off good ideas but lack creativity themselves (the media companies).

Hilarious, the blood of the flag had nothing to do with protecting the finical interests of mega-corporations. Congress has been purchased by the highest bidder.

"Stealing American ideas.."
How do you steal an idea? Once you reveal it to the public, it's lost anyway. Unless you patent it, but then it's yours no matter what.

I also love how most of the subjects on the commercial apply to the hollywood or music industry! Other people such as video game companies don't give a rats ass about this!

It says it will stop online piracy, that it will create jobs. LIEZ! Nothing can stop online piracy! You will only dent it while hurting others. And no, I do not support piracy! Piracy is awful. But this bill can not be passed in its current form. It will harm innocent websites like youtube. All just so a couple more movie tickets will be bought. Also, people commenting on this video, its not going to be enough to dislike this. Contact your lawmakers to not support and spread the word.

@MossMe89 your supposed to like something if you want to support the up loader for uploading it. Clearly he does not support it as he has written in the description that he doesn't. He just uploaded it just for us to see.

This fucking retarded Music and Hollywood fucks are going to destroy the internet, and dumbshits are going to support just for its name, and for its 1% of effect which is against piracy.

@kupo871 And the worst thing is that the people who go to cinemas to watch Twilight or any other such film series give money to them.
