Every year, Same time around Feburary AFACT will releases a report claiming how much the Australian film, tv industry lost to piracy

Most cases the report is rehashed and released every year to the media. All that has changed is the writer themselves and much higher random rounded total sum

For example one year it might me $100 million and 4 years later suddenly the Australian film industry had $900m spike in losses because of piracy. What these reports leave out is the movie studios are empty, With alot international competition for filming production rights and our high currency means less of incentive for choosing to filming down under.

For example the Australian film industry is trying to the Australian government into review tax breaks for an international movie to be made down under. Instead the production companies are choosing Europe and United states states because of there attractive incentives and tax breaks, Making very cheap to film instead of Australia

The choice of the name “donotreply” is because DISQUS (this comments system) has for me been using the part of the bogus email address I enter before the @ symbol (I cbf trying to change that and am not interested in attracting more spam to my spam accounts [meaning no offense to DISQU] ).

Beyond that, people are more than welcome to reply to my comments.

As to my response to your post, I refer you to ndmushroom’s response to your post (alternative avenues for further research and NOT an attack at TF) and also have a read further up the page where I have previously commented my opinion being “TF > The Age”.

“Okay, then I want to BUY my copy. That’s still allowed, isn’t it?”

Yes, if they choose to make it available for purchase. But even then, they could still choose who they sell or don’t sell it to.

There is no requirement to make a “product” available for sale, nor, if it is made available, to make it universally available.
