BitTorrent May Kill Zombieland Sequel, Writer Claims

After reading this puff piece for the motion picture industry, it was difficult to stop laughing long enough to write about it.

Did the motion picture industry hire the global warming fraudsters to come up with their bogus numbers, or did the global warming fraudsters start out as motion picture accountants? In either case, you can't believe what either one says.

Only in Hollywood can a movie gross billions, and not have anything to share with profit participants.

Have you heard the story about the movie researcher working on a clip show one December when no other picture was in production? One day an accountant comes running in to tell the researcher his production is over budget. When the researcher ask how can it be over budget, I am only one person working by myself without any external help? The accountant replies, that the entire cost of the studio (executive salaries, security, rent, utilities, ...) are divided evenly among all the active productions. Since his production was the only one that was active, ALL the expenses were attached to his production.

Anyway, the writer, using the best Hollywood numbers (all patently false to anyone with any knowledge) claims a sequel may not be produced, and thus he will not get to write it. Thus BitTorrent is ruining the motion picture industry.

First off, the MPAA claims that anyone who downloads the movie will never pay to see it. If that is the case, all Hollywood production would have ceased years ago. If that was the case, there would be no sales of DVDs. If that was the case, then the movie would not have earned $61 million in the first 17 days of release.

If all the people on the planet waited for 1 person to pirate the movie and then download it, there would be no ticket sales at all. Ignoring the fact that people like to see movies with their friends on a large screen, ignoring the fact that people who see the downloaded movie are more likely to pay to see it in the theaters, ignoring the fact that people who prefer to download rather than pay to see would never pay to see the movie in any case, ignoring ... There are too many facts that need to be ignored for the MPAA scenario to be believable.

Sigh.

If you ignore enough facts, this could make another Hollywood blockbuster.
