This system was launched in the United States in late 2002, first in the hands of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount, Sony Pictures, Universal and Warner Brothers. Later, Disney and 20th Century Fox sent their proposal to the service Movies.com. The service for movies on demand is done via cable television and through the network. On the day Peter Chernin, president of News Corporation (Studies in 20th Century Fox) stated that the service would ensure easy access to content and serve to " protect the integrity of intellectual property in the Internet age . "
The implementation of such services by the film producers respond to the growing concern of these companies due to piracy of films on the Internet ( digital piracy.) According to the Motion Pictures Association of America , movie piracy cost the studios more than 2,500 million dollars just in the Americas. The global data are also worrying. Today most of the population in developed countries have high-speed Internet, eight out of ten users download movies from the network.
is logical to think that all this seemingly harmless activity harms the entire film system, exhibitors, distributors and producers blame the losses assumed that activity.
We are in the early digital age and is becoming easier to acquire audiovisual material from the Internet free through programs file sharing P2P (e-mule, kazaa, etc). There is a lack of control and means to prohibit the occurrence and distribution of such programs. Some future media and other developments and existing may favor the decrease in piracy.
The digital television is almost a given, it is estimated that in 2006 there will be about 240 million people using the services it offers television. The technological evolution aims to complete a merger between TV and Internet. In fact, Internet protocol television is a reality, but companies in the sector of communication put resistance. The distribution of film and entertainment in Spain in 2006 reached 2,750 million euros. The rise announced a drop in the piracy of these products, yet the need to impose laws and propose new services remains latent.
The seven major studies investigate the possibility of exploitation and exhibition of film itself through the Internet, and thus constitute a new type of service-based film market " pay per view." Currently, technology, bandwidth, content compression and protocols that are used for viewing video (" webstreaming ") are not capable enough to play a consistent picture quality for television, film or video. Digital TV help in advancing this goal was imposed and necessary moderate to piracy, along with it, prohibition of exchange programs on the network mentioned above.
know too well to think of fighting piracy is absurd. Some of the companies that suffer losses arising from the market participants piracy devices and formats that support it, in many cases is "the dog chasing its tail." Currently many of us rather little matter losses that piracy is our future audiovisual industry, but soon have to decide and act accordingly film industries, television, record labels, and all those who are affected or are Part of the problem.
