: Hey ..
: This message is for Kevin, but anyone can go for it..
: I'm doing a project on video piracy for a university class I'm unfortunately in.. Here's a question or two:
: - Do you take into account video piracy as an issue specifically when producing DVDs? Well, no..
: - How do you believe video piracy should be best dealt with? I think studios trying to 'deal with it' is pointless. The internet is so much bigger than Paramount, Miramax, Universal, etc. There's no way to contain it. Look at Napster, yea.. They showed everyone, by closing it they allowed p2p formats like KaZaa and Morpheus thrive. Guess what, when they close them.. Five more will pop up in their place.
: - Do you believe that file sharing using KaZaa should be outlawed? My opinion.. No.. But I'm not a musician..
: Any general comments on video piracy would be welcomed..
Eh.. Read the 2nd question..
: Thanks!
