7Why should I care about Piracy?
Consumer piracy is the biggest worldwide threat to the film industry. It has flipped the traditional distribution channels upside down which lead to $18.9 billion dollars of lost revenue. Leaving many filmmakers and distributors frustrated and broke. Why should a filmmaker keep making quality films if they can't turn a profit or even breakeven on their film. To keep the film industry growing and evolving, it must generate revenue to continue paying for their sweat and sacrifice.
