<< These types of raids and closures have become increasingly common in the past several years when it comes to videocassettes and illegally distributed CDs. But this was the first such raid on a DVD-production operation in the United States, the MPAA said.
"Pirates seek to profit off the enormous popularity of DVDs by using the latest in technology to illegally manufacture DVD copies of Hollywood films, and again dupe consumers into purchasing a wholly inferior product," MPAA Chief Executive Jack Valenti said in a statement. "We are grateful to the NYPD for their outstanding police work."

..The New York raid caught a relatively small fish in its net. Police said they confiscated two computer towers, 15 DVD burners, 1,208 copies of pirate DVDs and about $5,200 in cash. Only one person was arrested. >>





Maybe they're starting from the bottom and work on up.

I can assure everyone that 99% of people who own illegal dvd rips are not trying to make any profit from it.

Unfortunately, the movie studios do not see it that way at all. If you have something illegally, you are an awful awful person who probably does drugs too. Everyone who pirates is exactly the same.

(Oh by the way, I was being sarcastic)
 
the only people who make money on movies are the distributors and a tiny percentage of the actors, writers, and directors.
 
the money for theaters is in the POPCORN... dang i just made myself hungery.
