Or maybe they are discovering the FACT WE ARE RIGHT? That Bittorrent offers an all around better profit margin than any other method that they themselves have tried to develop. Sure your going to have the Dinosaurs want to relive the past pre VHS tape days but those will be active in the fading MPAA & RIAA. however as the studios learn we ARE their LARGEST customers then they will slowly start catering to us.

Hollywood is deliberately seeding movies because it is the cheapest, most effective promotional method they have. It is black hat. But who stands to gain most from seeding movies? Who has easy access to circumvent preventative measures? As many have pointed out the “lost potential profit” from people sharing movies is fictional. 99% of P2P does not compete with movie profit because people are getting it free and will not pay the money. They know that as well as we do.

Just like with the war on drugs there are few who actually believe the myths. Yet the war is profitable and so they pay to keep it going.

Yes, some genuine independent souls go out and “pirate” movies. Why not. Let them. But it’s easiest and most profitable for the publishers to do it themselves and get free distribution.

We let them hypocritically complain about piracy because we have a subservient corporate newsmedia that will print the most outlandish BS. Of course the movie studios do it themselves. It ups sales and costs nothing. It gives invaluable and instant product feedback. It can be done in a shitty quality that nobody complains about (because it is “free”) allowing them to ridiculously upsell their “legit” product and not even have to deliver genuine high quality because of course, compared to the P2P version it is much sharper.

Very clever scam. But you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.

But if can’t they control what their employees download, why should they control what we download?

The standard John Steele-response is that the IP address holder, even if not the original downloader, MUST be held accountable if suspected of infringement. This is the position that the RIAA, MPAA and similar copyright holders have taken and insisted on.

Tough titties for them.
