Online Piracy Can Boost Box Office Revenue, Study Suggests

But American comedy movies are shit nowadays, it's just a bunch of comedians and Will Ferrell doing one-liners. Might as well add pause for laughter like the Big Bang Theory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKS3MGriZcs

As for drama, I'd like to watch Sentimental Value, but I imagine my eyes will be wet in many scenes, I'd rather do that at home than in a theater.

I'm surprised that the argument here about piracy increasing box office demand instead of IP value.

These articles always surface before eff announces something major...

Feels analogous to 'Cigarette company announced cigarettes can be healthy under these specific instances'

Piracy brings more benefits to the world than cigarettes ever could.

One example is preservation. The best-preserved vintage media of today is that which was most widely pirated during its commercial lifetime.
