How to end Piracy

"Today BT Vision announces its first subscription movie package "PictureBox" a subscription on demand service which allows viewers to watch great films whenever they want. For just £5 a month, viewers can choose from a constant selection of 28 films, including great titles like The Bourne Ultimatum, Knocked Up, Atonement, The Kingdom and Elizabeth: The Golden Age."

PictureBox has already launched across the UK. Many of the films included in this package have not been aired yet, providing exclusive previews to movies. PictureBox also includes services such as sports, music, kids and television series offerings.

This movie package provides so much entertainment for so little money. This is just one more step to help end the piracy that has evolved throughout the global market. For just five pounds or ten Canadian dollars, you receive top-quality movies and music on your TV. If this programme is launched around the world, it will definitely help eliminate the need to buy pirated movies, when instead you can sit at home and just turn on your TV to watch a new movie release. With PictureBox there is no need to complain about the cost of the product, since it provides so much entertainment for so little money. This is just another start to helping the movie and music industry gain its full income from the selling of their products.



If you are looking to purchase PctureBox, because you may live in the UK, or know someone who lives in there, heres the link to buy the package.

Artists and Piracy

Radiohead, a 1990's band, has created a new industry that is making customers order online to buy their CD's and pay at a price of there choice. After, the CD will be shipped to their house instead of walking into a store to pick it up. Radiohead is trying to eliminate the ideas of piracy online, where people around the world download music onto their portable music players. However, the question of how piracy will be completely eliminated is an issue. Even though Radiohead is attempting to help stop the idea of people downloading their music, piracy will still be used throughout the global markets, especially in the movie industry. The idea of customers paying a price of their choice for their albums is a problem as well. Knowing that people can download songs for free, customers will most likely pay less money, evidently making the band lose money. Piracy is still a major issue that has yet been dealt with; however, Radiohead has taken the first step attempting to help end it.
