Wednesday, May 14, 2008 Bootleg: caring means not sharing POST A COMMENT New York's got a new bill the table that would inflict stiffer "penalties" on "cammers", (those trench-coat bitches recording movies in theaters illegally and then distributing them for money): "This is modern-day organized crime," said legislators. "The wide distribution of pirated films originating from New York costs our state vital economic resources, including thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenue." As a content provider, I get how piracy effect the little guy (in this case "me")...I know I was on here recently talking about "giving it away" -(but, that's a marketing tool to stake-out your claim on that idea)...'still need ways to put food on the table. It's def' a bigger issue for INDIE filmmakers (with no back-end plan) - all around the world who want to make more films...Not convinced?
