Movie Industry Anti-Piracy Education

Washington Post.com


The movie industry announced a broad new anti-piracy public education campaign today, with commercials set to appear on all six broadcast television networks, more than two dozen cable channels and in 5,000 movie theaters nationwide.

... The movie industry estimates that it loses between $3 billion and $4 billion annually from pirated DVD discs manufactured mainly in Asia but sold throughout the world. The MPAA has a 100-person office in Hong Kong that prosecutes pirates -- it currently has thousands of copyright violation cases in courts -- and spurs local law enforcement officials to raid pirate DVD factories.
