Practices of Looking 401-413
In the book it talks about how piracy which is primarily in the U.S. but also worldwide affects Hollywood sales (401). The book also talks about how Hollywood films make more money outside the use as well (401). My comments would be that, yes there are many ways to search for pirated movies online and illegally stream movies barely hitting theaters, but I personally, would rather pay to watch the movie in the best quality it can be, then to watch a movie that is recorded on a camera phone that has both bad sound and video quality. I also read online how Netflix is working with some Hollywood movies so that movies can be available on Netflix. By making a movie available on Netflix would help to fight piracy because some people would rather watch a movie at home, then watch it in the theater, outside of their comfort zone. Anyway, most bootlegged movies are going to be significantly inferior to a theater version, which is why I would rather go to the theaters.

Yeah, who wants to see a bootleg from a phone capture? But what about pirated films that are indeed high quality and streamed to anyone for free? Is this problematic, illegal, unethical, stealing?
ReplyDeleteI would say, yes, high quality pirated films are problematic, and I do see this as a form of robbery. Very rarely would a pirated film barely hitting theaters be in high quality because there occasionally could be interruptions to a pirate, like, for instance a person nearby or working personnel, and even people moving in and out of there seats.
