Pirated movie shown on national TV. Intellectual property is dead.

I posted this photo to show the difficulty in enforcing copyright in foreign countries.




Pirate Bay threatened to locate their servers in Iraq (when we were at war with them). And eventually said they could move out to an abandoned oil platform in international waters!

Piracy can't be stopped. Let Hollywood make its own money. I'm not in the business of supporting antiquated business models. You shouldn't be either.

What is amazing is how few good business models hollywood has come up with for online business.

Apparently they aren't so "creative" afterall.

This is not just a movie issue. China has no respect for intellectual property - have you not heard of all the fake apple stores? They were exact replicas's of the real deal, so much so that the people working at them didn't even know they were fake.
