View Full Version : Movie Industry Buries Study Results That Pirates Buy More DVDs Than Average

The movie and music industry have been trying to portray file sharers as criminal pirates and parasites who steal billions of dollars from the industry in lost sales. In order to strengthen their argument, the MPAA and RIAA commissioned a number of studies that would investigate the negative effects pirates cause to their sales. Ironically, the studies proved the exact opposite, and they had to shut up about it while repeating their usual accusations.

http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2918/johnnydepppiratesofthec.jpg

The whistle was blown by an unnamed GFK employee who told German website, Telepolis, a study conducted by GFK on behalf of the movie industry found that pirates typically download illegal copies of movies to try-before-they-buy. The study also found that pirates buy more legit DVDs than the average user and they visit the movie theater more, especially for opening weekend releases which typically cost more to attend.

The study concluded that movie pirates are more interested in movies and that they spend more money on movies than most people, making them the industry’s best customers.

Unfortunately, the unnamed client who commissioned the study decided against it getting published. Not very surprisingly, the reason given for canning the study was that its findings are “unpleasant.”

It is worth noting that an unrelated independent research conducted earlier this year has found that anime piracy and streaming in Japan increased DVD sales.

What's there to finish? It's more of a statement than a comparison due to the anonymous source and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to find figures to add to this.
I felt this would be interesting for people to read and I even left a link to the source article so people won't think I'm trying to claim I wrote this.
Picking apart this post won't change the statements given and I feel most people will get the general point.

What needs to be done is a unbiased, professional study. Not some pirate claiming because he bought 1 film of iTunes last week means that all pirates do it.

One fact is; If I steal someone's intellectual property via network like Usenet, I'm not in any way contributing to a sale. Stealing is still stealing no matter how you twist it.

One tax I would be willing to pay is a piracy tax. Sometimes I feel for those indie ass holes trying to make it big.

IF the source is true then all good because GFK is a large market research company and Telepolis seems to be a German news and comparison site.
I felt I could relate to this article some what as I do buy almost everything I play/watch and really enjoy. I'm also not here to say piracy is OK and I'm not going to go on about possible legal and moral grounds on that subject.

The real cunt is the one that flames on someone thats trying to share info he has found.
I do think there's a truth in this story, since allot of users "try before they buy".
And its also true that the ones downloading movies, mostly like movies more then the average user.. and there for wants to buy the movie he really likes.
Instead of an average user borrowing or renting this movie since he/she is no movie/game fanatic.

All with all, thats kinda my opinion dunno about the rest of ya'l but keep it nice and try to understand it before u comment..
He didnt wrote the topic himself but just shared this info from the source.

You'd think so wouldn't you but it's all smoke and mirrors like the Amazing Kreskin or Marky Mark.
I just consider the most insipid, least funny thing that anyone in the long history of civilization could possible utter and there is a high probability that will be the next thing posted. So you see I'm really more of a scientist than a magician.

I saw that this thread suddenly got a bunch of posts and I was hopeful...

Then I saw it was a U17 competition, quite disappointing

Anyways, I hate DVDs, so I'm not contributing to the DVD sales. I used to rent and sometimes "buy" from Zune, but their download speed started dropping like 3 day old flies so I stopped using their service (from my XBOX 360). It's been more than half a year since I've ripped DRM from a video file from Zune, so I don't even know if the method works any longer.

I expect the stereotypical generalizations of overweight black women to have more personality than that

The movie and music InDustry have been trying tO portray fiLe Sharers as criminal pirates and parasites who steal billions of dollars from the indUstry in lost sales. In order to strengthen their argument, the MPAA and RIAA Commissioned a number of studies that would investigate the negative effects pirates cause to their sales. Ironically, the studies proved the exact opposite, and they had to shut up about it while repeating their usual accusations.

http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2918/johnnydepppiratesofthec.jpg

The whistle was blown by an unnamed GFK employee who told German webSite, Telepolis, a study conducted by GFK on beHalf of the moviE industry found that pirates typically download illegal Copies of movies to try-before-they-buy. The study Also found that pirates buy more legit DVDs than the average user and they visit the movie theater more, especially for opening WeeKend releases which typically cost more to attend.

The study concluded that movie pirates are more interested in movies and that they spend more money on movies than most people, making them the industry’s best customers.

Unfortunately, the unnamed client who commissioned the study decided against it getting published. Not very surprisingly, the reason given for canning the study was that its findings are “unpleasant.”

It is worth noting that an unrelated independent research conducted earlier this year has found that anime piracy and streaming in Japan increased DVD sales.

Reading the bold type, I'm confident that we can all see what your agenda really was, you sick genius spastic.
