Is the black beard?
Red beard.
Sorry, my name's Kerry. I'm the new intern.
Ah, yes. Come. Sit.
Why are you in here alone?
Good Wi-Fi.
Then your gamut thrones is out.
Why, you're pirating the show.
Do you like music?
If you've paid for it.
Short man, short temper.
You can stay.
But first, let me show you something
so you don't go pissing your pants again.
Come on.
Too far back.
What about DVDs?
Oh, please. Let me tell you about these.
50%. How much is that?
50%. That's a lot of your rent.
And when it comes to studio profit,
that's a lot of coins spent.
So you're telling me that the DVD market
was responsible for 50% of the major studio's
overall profits, even though it was easier
than ever to pirate films and TV?
Ah, yeah. Paramount Pictures'
exact old Baz London put it best.
It was re-exposing people to movies
that had stopped going.
But I'll never stop flowing
and growing and backyard mowing
because the pirates of today are a little
more knowing.
You need a VPN,
a tolerant client, a shady website
and a little time spent.
So who are these pirates you have in mind?
Well, it all boils down to three of a kind.
If you can't afford it, you may
as well rot it if there ain't no access.
They're gonna save their bank checks
and the people that steal are just playing
EVIL?
Okay, dad, I'm sorry.
Ah, don't worry.
Just tell me who it is, perhaps.
Everyone from gaffers to studio cats
but all it takes is a little look at the stats
to realise what they claim ain't really the facts.
Holy Ben Stiller,
250 billion, that's a lot of lost scrella.
That's a cherry-picked stat
of illegal goods from
jeans to Rolexes, hats and hoods.
Okay.
But 6,000 Aussie jobs, you simply can't
dodge it. Use Logic.
That's eight years and a debt industry
which would have happened years ago between
you and me. So what are you getting at?
Cut away the fat
and take a look at that.
Now, I'm a breaker down with a little
rhyme sleigh, spoken like my favourite bloke
on Home and Away. As you can see
from this first chart here, the same
people watch movies every year
and in terms of profits, they're always
going up, like the price of popcorn
with a slurp pickup and the last
little graph for your noggin.
Profits after torrents is what I've been
plotting. Steady as she goes on our
pirate ship. Now, how about we wrap
up this silly film clip?
Fine. So what you're saying is that film piracy
is a fallacy. It doesn't exist and everyone
should stop complaining. Now, with my words
you'd twist. But what I'm getting at is
the topics too crisp.
But even, ask Steven.
The market has changed
and the consumer's method of viewing has changed.
Why would anyone pay $9 for a movie
that might not even be good when they can get
unlimited access to thousands of movies
for only $9 a month? The cinema
is unfortunately not the obelisk of unlimited
power that it once was. If they want people
to pay for their content, it has to be worth buying
and it has to be available in every
country simultaneously.
Because universal distribution is
the only solution to avoid pollution
or a fear being alone.
So, you gotta ask yourself
how do you feel about piracy now?
It's still wrong and illegal.
So, do you want to watch the new Game of Thrones?
Oh, I'm just fucking loopy.
I can't wait three months for that shiznid
doge.
Just don't.
