SOPA and PIPA are dead, but the Obama administration is still determined to make illicit movie and streaming a felony.

In addition, the administration is requesting permanent funding to target foreign sites such as The Pirate Bay through "diplomatic and trade-based pressure."
During its Connect launch event, Meta unveiled both smart glasses capable of live-streaming what you are seeing and its own AI assistant, Meta AI, which will soon be integrated into WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook.
Multiple streaming services serving as a cheap a la carte substitute for cable and satellite television are losing their luster.

Hollywood is talking again. Why is it that gaming and movie/music industries are the only ones who bitch and moan when people make money off their stuff.

When their sales tank after this goes through, they'll manage to still point blame at wrong direction. Word of mouth can go a long ways. Expendables 3, Some people can't wait to see it again come August.

They are actually lucky people are illegally downloading their content. The time of the DVD and BlueRay has long passed, and frankly so has pay per view. People want a subscription service and they are willing to pay for it. If it wernt for illegal ways of getting their content i feel it would be exposed to MUCH smaller groups and word of mouth and such wouldn't even have a presence. Illegal mediums have kept them in business all these years while stupid CEO's and idiot studios hold the illusion that they have been in control of the content. New business model or die, people don't want to be tricked, and your content isnt worth 10 dollars a view or 25 dollars to own. Its 1 dollar a view and 20 dollars a month for unlimited.
