The MPAA claims to have carried out a reliable study aiming to evaluate movie piracy, and its corresponding lost for Hollywood Major Studio... with estimated cost US$6.1 billion for 2005.
This is quite an increase when comparing with the previous estimation: US$2.4 billion. (one of the estimation must be wrong?)
How is this US$6 billions lost allocated:
- US$2.4 billion for bootlegging
- US$1.4 billion for illegal copying
- US$2.3 billion for Internet piracy
- US$1.3 billion occurred in the U.S.
- US$4.8 billion internationally, with about 50% coming from Europe (US$2.3 billion not much surprising since there is more inhabitants in EU than in USA, with a higher access to fast internet connection).
Where are located the pirates?
China, Russia, the U.K., France, Spain, Brazil, Italy, Poland and Mexico are the countries where piracy is the most prevalent. Funny enough US is not mentioned...
Well, we should ask MPAA to evaluate the value of Macbidouille/Hardmac, for sure we might be worth few millions US$... ;)
