Neglected is the fact that Hollywood continues to make more and more money each year. Second, there is the segments claims by director Steven Soderbergh that piracy is costing the movie industry 6 billion a year. There was some talk about gangs of pirates using mafia style pickups but the focus quickly turned to illegal downloading. I mean I could at least warm up to the idea if 60 Minutes gave me any proof. Now I’m not going to dispute the fact that there are bootlegged movies out there but 60 Minutes is having me believe that Tony Soprano is behind all of this and not some dude with a DVD burner in his basement looking for some extra cash. Their segment was on how illegal downloading was costing Hollywood 6 billion a year, which may or may not be that far off, however, the reasoning they give to support this claim is pretty much fabrication or conjecture which ever way you want to look at it.įirst there is the claim that Organized Crime (the Mafia?) is making most of it’s money off of counterfeit movies. I didn’t actually see this episode of the investigative news/magazine 60 Minutes since the Phillies were on but from what I and other people on the internet can tell you, their editor needs to do a little better in the fact checking department. It's more like 42 minutes and 18 minutes of commercials.
