MPAA: Piracy is NOT Theft After All

For decades the entertainment industry used the word “theft” to refer to piracy.

Most famous is probably the “You Wouldn’t Steal a Car” ad. But virtually all press releases of outfits such as the MPAA refer to stealing or theft.

Quote:

All of a sudden, however, MPAA boss Chris Dodd is whistling a different tune.

After the SOPA revolt earlier this year the movie industry group realized they have to position themselves better.

“We’re going to have to be more subtle and consumer-oriented,” Dodd says.

“We’re on the wrong track if we describe this as thievery.”

Technically MPAA’s boss doesn’t say that piracy isn’t theft, but just that it’s bad PR to keep using the term.

The real problem with the theft metaphor is that it’s not only inaccurate, but also widening the gap between people’s norms and copyright law.

Wait a goddamned minute. If I do not sell something that someone else created without permission but keep it for myself I haven't stolen?

Semantics.

They may tweak the words but they will still prosecute u if they catch u.

Somewhat ludicrous, since those bastards have been stealing from their artists for many years.

Especially in the early days, royalties were counted in pennies, if awarded at all, while they raked in millions.

Well, it's about time that something happened to better put things in perspective.

Does this mean that we will have blu ray recorders now?

so will they still come after you if they catch you doing it, how can they now if they don't consider it theft?

Oh really?! Shock and awe. How I interpret it, piracy is sharing. Sure there's been sharing for money with the cashhosts and stuff. Essentially though, it's taking a digital copy of a copyrighted work. That copyrighted work had been paid for by some person, legally. That person makes a digital copy, uploads it, and shares it amongst the internet. It's a digital, grand form of simple sharing amongst a local community, or group, whatever. Something done since the beginning of time, just evolved to fit the time period. Cyberlockers essentially are hubs to share those digital copies.

None of it really is theft.
