Topic: THE REASON ITS OK TO WATCH PIRATED MOVIES!! Forum: JoBlo

That is the reality of the consumers. If you want to have a successful business, you adapt to that reality. You don't adapt reality, aka the consumers, to your pitiful desires of "NO ONE EXCHANGE THINGS!!!". The internet and the possibilities of information distribution have ruined that model. The industry needs to come up with a new model. Look at how the tv industry, which is more similar to internet since it broadcasts things on television, adapted to it and posts tv shows online with limited advertising. They're doing alright. Adapting to the change will in a way slow the destruction but it will not destroy the problem entirely. Using the T.V. industry as an example, since you did, I've seen more people more likely torrent every season of South Park before they're willing to watch it on Comedy Central's ad infested web site. Unfortunately those ads, much like in television, is how the company can afford to pull off something like that. Situations like that would become the norm even if the industry did embrace the internet as a distribution system and allow you to watch movies for free on their websites. Because they have to make money somehow, and ads are really the only other way besides merchandise to make money off of a movie. The people who download movies for free don't want to sit through ads. It's only a matter of time after they embrace the system before those people who don't want to sit through adds learn they can get it for free without any ads from a torrent or whatever the future of file sharing site is created. Either way, the industry has to maintain a profit somehow, and if people aren't willing to pay for anything or sit through ads, then the industry will no longer exist. If the industry no longer exists, it will become all that much harder to make a movie in the first place.
