King Kong vs. Movie Pirates

Caoz writes "The New York Times is running an interesting article about movie piracy with Peter Jackson providing some comments. There a couple of comments that I thought were surprising. Like an executive admitting that file sharers are not the biggest threat to Hollywood. From the article: 'There is a very dark, black cloud in this game. It's not in the hands of kids who live next door to you; it's organized groups and organized crime.' Why are they suing bitorrent users then?"

    I would suggest that if losing $3bn (of very questionable profits when we are talking file-sharing) is threatening a $140bn industry ($85b cinema + $55b video/dvd) then there are bigger issues to deal with - we are talking 2% of revenue !!!
