In the article “MPAA: Movie Piracy is the New Plague” (Scarlet Pruitt, 2004), Scarlet has stated some reasons of pirated movie spreading among the public. Nowadays, people can easily get the pirated movie from different sources like internet, VCD and DVD. Especially through internet, they just need to click a few buttons to download the movie without paying for it. It is fast which suits the lifestyle of people at present.
Besides that, people no need to spend money for downloading the movie as they are free of charge. Why people wants to buy an original VCD or DVD when there are ways of watching the movies free. Even buying the pirated VCD or DVD, they are very cheap when compared to the prices of the movie tickets. They can watch the pirated VCD or DVD a hundred time but they can only watch once when using a movie ticket.
Moreover, they are many choices for the people to choose in the internet. Some movies which are difficult to buy the original VCD or DVD, there is great opportunity that internet provided this movie. From the black and white types of movies to the latest movies, people can download from the internet easily. People get to view the new movie in the internet even though the theaters have not release the movie in some countries.
From my point of view, these reasons are very accurate as these issues are happening around the public. All people like free gifts especially when the free gifts are what they want. Everything wants to be fast is another humanity of the people nowadays. These are the reasons why movie piracy cannot be eliminated from the public.
