Actors may get paid a lot, but that is because everyone wants to see there movies. If we all stop seeing these movies, they will not get paid the big bucks......and we wouldn't have anything to watch!

Besides, actors are a dying breed anyway, as animation is improving in leaps and bounds. All that will be required in the future are voices. Lot cheaper for the networks.

The entertainment industry globally is experiancing huge growth
in online revenue by the figures , the idea that piracy is impacting on this revenue is likely very true but I'd wager the losses are no where near $58 B or as a percentage of gross are insignificantly small ,imo the real long term goal has little to do with online piracy

Its hard to see through all the fog on this issue , my feelings are that
the big players in the industry were always a little lost on how
to deal with the web, Mr Murdochs spray of $540 M against the wall regarding myspace sort of supports that ,but they do understand the notion of a controllong interest and someday somehow through legistlative help,buyouts or plain old conniving persistance they will get there way.

Well, Graham, they can be stopped in trying to take over the net via conniving or whatever. They rely on us for their bread and butter....and so do the politicians

They have backed away from presenting the legislation in congress. But ONLY backed away. Probably looking for another way to go about it that wont draw so much attention.
Seriously the United States is isolating itself with stuff like this but Oz will follow suit if they US pushes us enough.
Not good.
