SOPA: Internet Piracy Bill Criticized as Internet Censorship
Pirating movies has been outgoing to do ever since the companies started releasing them on VHS for anyone who knew how to do it, and it wasn’t difficult to figure out. The question is: why are they so distressed about it now?
You might want to say that it’s the result of the internet making it more accessible, but that’s not even close to being true. It takes longer to download a large screen than it did to copy from VHS to VHS. Even now, people can copy movies easily from DVD to their computers in minutes with the right program.
The genuineness of it was that the companies who made movies were not content with the money they were making off theater ticket sales, so they began releasing movies for dwelling sales. Despite the fact that, even now, they still make loads of money from home sales, they’re still not satisfied with what they’re getting. It’s about avarice, plain and simple.
The only difference between now and then is that corporate money is more prevalent in politics today than it ever has been.
