Movies on the Internet
You're watching TV one evening scanning through the reruns
thinking it's pathetic how little there is to watch anymore when
a fantastic movie trailer comes on. It's everything you love -
the right actors, the wit, the action - and your heart beats a
little faster in anticipation - if only you could watch it RIGHT
NOW!
Well, the film industry has heard you. Along with the speed of
the internet, consumers have now come to a new stage of demand.
It used to be that we WANTED everything immediately - now we
EXPECT it.
This is not the sort of thing that goes unnoticed by industries
that cater to public reception. And now it has been announced
that we may not be far away from simply walking over to our
computer and downloading the newest releases.
During a meeting at the Cannes Film Festival, Culture Ministers
from across Europe, film industry representatives and Internet
Service Providers were among those who met to discuss the
possible policies needed to distribute movies online.
BBC news reports European Union media commissioner Viviane
Reding as stating: "In Europe, as in other continents, the
opportunities for people to enjoy films online are set to
increase tremendously over the next few years".
Naturally there are still many issues to be resolved before
movies are readily available to the public online. Piracy and
broadband
capabilities are still being questioned.
Piracy became the prominent issue when music files were being
illegally shared over the internet. While the music industry
fought against such services as Napster, they are still far from
recovering their market revenue and the film industry is not
anxious to join them.
What can't be debated is that there IS a market, and no industry
likes to bypass that because of possible problems.
Right now European broadband may not be up to the task of
downloading such large files but has plans to proceed with
distribution soon.
In America there has already been movie distribution with the
inevitable legal proceedings against individuals facilitating
unauthorized downloads.
Although the fight against piracy is being taken very seriously
by the industry, it is still parents who are at the forefront of
setting the example and instructing children on the ethics of
downloading such material. Responsibility is learned.
In any event, the next time you see a great movie advertised and
you are handy to the internet, perhaps you should stay in, avoid
the lines and the traffic and check it out online!
