Illegal downloading costs the economy nothing. That is just a scare tactic to keep people under control. People have a maximum budget for entertainment. If they don't spend it on music they will eat at a restaurant, or see a play. Illegally downloading ONLY hurts the music and film oligopoly. It hurts the biggest, but helps the smallest.
Years ago you could not copyright music, time to return to that policy.
@mikevanstaveren Most very small productions are releasing free content on YouTube and Blip. There is more than one way to make money. Listening to the radio is free and yet artists try hard to get radio coverage of new music. Its all about accepting realities and adapting. The smallest are usually way ahead of the solid, stagnate giants of industry.
@XCritonX Thank you for your response, but you did not really give an answer :)
I understand that some people release their movies on youtube, but I think is this done to get more over-all coverage, building a name for example. Probably this movie they released is not their only source of income, most of these movie makers, have a real job besides their own movie work.
The same with radio coverage, they of course receive some money in return, but radio stations keep alive with advertisements.
@mikevanstaveren and Im not sure if enough income could be generated for putting out a A quality movie.
I know the industry needs to adapt, and personally I think the best solution is a subscription based idea, something like spotify, but then for movies. Or a flat free tax that everybody has to pay, just like water, gas and electricity. Its also an morality debate, currently I spend €20 a month on movies, the rest I download. Making movies costs money, but 20€ a dvd is stupidity
@mikevanstaveren I will give you the example of Freddiew here on YT. He produces lots of free content all of the time. Nobody pirates his content because it is free on YT. He makes money by product placements and by doing on demand projects for companies.
In a free market you get money by making people happy. Freddiew has found a good formula that makes advertisers happy, so he makes money. Best of all he is not beholden to incompetent mega media corporations and cranky actors.
What bullshit, Bush can invade another Country for it's oil,, and we cant download the latest episode of our favourite series. Good Vid!!

@XCritonX How would downloading a cult/art/small production film, help the smallest? How would they fund their movie then?
