Do You Care That Video Piracy Makes Studios Lose Money?
LatestYou know your illegal downloads of Titanic and every episode of Lost are theoretically hurting someone, but many of you content thieves don’t think too deeply about it, do you? Maybe you even cackle maniacally whenever a head of an awards organization preaches about piracy on stage at a show.
According to a new survey from the digital security company Irdeto, a surprising majority of people are actually good-hearted. Per the survey, only 39 percent of American consumers said they were unaffected by the knowledge that studios lose money because of their bootleg activities. That percentage seems low given that zero percent of video pirates I know even think about it.
