This is a FACTUAL reason why Piracy is here to stay. The movie companies put this trailer at the beginning of DVD's, but they attempt to compare Piracy to stealing. Stealing is a crime. Piracy is simply NATURE! When the Press was first invented, it was called the work of the Devil. The ones in power didn't want people to have access to information. Books that only a few had access to, could now be smuggled into the hands of the wider public. When the Audio Cassette Tape was invented, there were lawsuits. The music publishers cried this would drive them out of business. When the Video Recorder was invented, yes you guessed it, more lawsuits, and a lot of end of the world claims again, this time from the movie makers. from Wikipedia: "In the early 1980s, the film companies in the USA fought to suppress the device in the consumer market, citing concerns about copyright violations." When Cable TV was invented, there were lawsuits again as this seemed to be the end for TV companies. When the first Portable MP3 Player was invented, and as found on Wikipedia - 'On October 8, 1998, the American recording industry group, the Recording Industry Association of America, filed an application for a Temporary Restraining Order to prevent the sale of the Rio player in the Central District Court of California, claiming the player violated the 1992 Audio Home Recording Act.' Business models change all the time! The big heads are slow to adapt. The slow ones go out of business. Either keep wasting your energy in trying to stop human nature, or face change and embrace it. Either way, don't try to insult and brainwash us with force-fed DVD clips like this. Thank you!
