We have just got to roll up our sleeves and work on a variety of ways to help these folks through this terrible, terrible dry weather crisis,
There are plenty of ways to download movies legally online, which is good for consumers and good for the movie industry, ... We won't tolerate this scam premised on the illegal swapping of valuable movie content.
I'm someone who believes the only way to see a movie is in a big theater, on a big screen, with a big bag of popcorn.
The movie industry is committed to working with the technology sector to find innovative new ways to deliver entertainment to consumers.
As an industry we recognize the need for more innovation in the area of portability and copyright protection.

I don't think people will want to watch a 1 1/2- or two-hour movie on something the size of their hand, but it could have value to advertise and promote movies. We're generally encouraging online movies, and there are all sorts of ways of working against piracy, ... the biggest threat to our industry.
Our ultimate goal is a global market for films and filmed entertainment unimpeded by the artificialities of government policies, instead governed only by the tastes and demands of the audiences and our ability to meet those demands.
Researching and developing these technologies now will help save the major studios and other motion picture producers and distributors money in the future,

I think this is one of the areas we will get the support for, ... We're going to push.
Peer-to-peer technology is here to stay... What's more, the film industry will have to come up with a 'reasonable-cost', hassle-free way for people to download movies legally for it to continue to prosper.
It appears to be more about trade than the promotion of cultural diversity. The World Trade Organization is the place for (trade),
Kansas is not going to become the Hollywood of the future. But the film studios are looking to make quality stories, interesting stories, all over the country.
