Film piracy is a huge problem in the film industry, cutting into profits, which is especially problematic for independent films.
I would love feedback from all, but especially independent filmmakers. If there was a way for you to promote taking donations from your film being pirated, would you?
I have a theory that many people pirate because they don't want to pay. However there are a percentage that pirate due to distribution restrictions, and not getting the file they want when they want on the device of their choice.
Whatever the reason, it is happening, and will continue to happen. Rather than complaining about it, should we be looking for an additional revenue stream from film piracy?
