You Will Never Kill Piracy

scottbomb writes "This is perhaps the best op-ed I've read about the whole SOPA/PIPA controversy. The author challenges Hollywood to re-think their entire business model. It will undoubtedly fall on deaf ears, for now. But sooner or later, they will have no choice but to adapt. From the article: 'Now that the SOPA and PIPA fights have died down, and Hollywood prepares their next salvo against internet freedom with ACTA and PCIP, it's worth pausing to consider how the war on piracy could actually be won. It can't, is the short answer, and one these companies do not want to hear as they put their fingers in their ears and start yelling.'"

umm a few weeks might be for the talent. but for everyone else its about 18 months or longer. Building sets designing sets doing all the VFX. Or you think we do all the VFX in a few weeks? You think I make millions of dollars doing VFX? You think the set builders make millions of dollars. You have no clue what it takes to make a movie based on what you just said. Clearly you might want to educate yourself before you say such utterly stupid things.
