Film Piracy - Kerry's Arguments Against
Film Piracy: Against Arguments
- Piracy lowers the views/ratings of a movie and damages the chance of the industry making a sequel.
- It doesn’t only lose the big companies and rich stars money, it also causes the set runners, editors, and other behind the scenes people to lose out on money.
- It's stealing, which is a punishable crime.
- Small independent film companies wouldn't be able recover from the money loss of piracy and it could cause them to be unable to continue creating films.
- Watching films online, or copied DVD lessens the viewing quality and ruins the atmosphere you get when watching in the cinema.
- Piracy could damage the future of cinema, for if no one goes to the cinema it could cause them to shutdown, and then we will lose the excitement of new film releases.
- It could also be argued that piracy is the reason cinema prices are so high, as in order to get the same amount of money from less people they have to raise the prices.

Film Piracy Research - Joe's Arguments For
Joe Danter
Film Piracy
Arguments FOR Piracy:
· When trying to pay for content you want becomes much more
difficult than pirating it, piracy becomes a much more appealing option.
· You may not be able to buy a film due to it not being available in
the region you live in; therefore piracy would be the viable option.
· Sometimes piracy can help spread the popularity of a film, for
example if a group of people all torrented a film before it was available to
legally download or buy and enjoyed the film they could be more likely to buy
it once it is available to purchase.
· Cheaper providers such as Netflix can be slow to release new films
and buying the blu-ray/DVD for every film can be too expensive for a lot of
people.
· People have been recording programmes on VHS recorders in the past
so they could own a copy for free and it was acceptable then so why do you have
to buy the film now?
· Why pay
for something when you can get it for free?
