Motion Picture Piracy Break In Chile

In Chile it is very difficult to film because people would rather buy a pirated movie instead of going to the cinema to see it. No doubt many of them do not know the damage that can lead to such practices, they do not realize all the hours of work that exists behind camera workers doing the film, whether directors, producers, technical equipment etc. . undoubtedly a great job and piracy destroys not only this work but also the culture of watching movies in our country, morals and good customs and top it all about to see a good image, a clean sound and a quality product. As also noted by "Chile.com? that illegal trade losses amounting to 250 million dollars in our country, and recent feature films, the classics, the captive of humor. All these titles and more can be found at a reasonable price and next to the street in the sale of pirated movies in Chile has had a remarkable explosion in recent years. Bang that fills the pockets of some, leaves other major releases and generates millions in losses, both national and international industry-but, however, operates on the illegality of the crime.

This is because according to the National Anti-Piracy (CONAPI) in Chile Property based industries (film, music, software and books) lost $ 250 million annually and informal trade reaches the sum of 1,000 million dollars, so Just in terms of VAT evasion means the State of Chile for a loss of about $ 190 million.

Without going any further, the losses attributed to piracy of films totaled $ 40 million in 2004, according to estimates by the ADV. But why piracy reaches such high levels in our country?. According to the results of a recent study by the National Television Council (NVIC) Chileans do not consume culture (cinema, theater, concerts, etc.) for lack of funds. Under this scenario it is not difficult to understand that some fall into the temptation to get the latest release for one low price. But beyond the reality that we as a country against this background, the fact is that the authorities did not scrimp on efforts to end this scourge. For this reason, it is in Chile John Malcolm, Director of the Global Anti-Piracy for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) who will meet with representatives of government, parliamentarians and leaders of the entertainment industry, in order to discuss the interest common in combating this scourge that generates millions in losses each year worldwide. Chile has a piracy rate of movies about 35 or 40% and it is estimated that intellectual property rights of various works (film, music, software and books) there are losses of $ 250 million a year.

With these words, Malcolm exemplified the scenario facing our country on this illegal trade. He adds street piracy robs the Chilean their dreams and those people the opportunity to earn an honest living. Replicators are members of organized crime organizations, related to corruption and violence. They are real signs peuden get organized physical violence, said Malcolm. This makes it clear that we must cope with this practice so that this way we can keep up with countries with more experience and better film culture industries such as Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, these countries have come without doubt to protect the local film having better results than our industry., leaving us the question and the problem that we are becoming more limited opportunities to make films in Chile and this lack of resources partly proboca piracy.

Let us realize that we must protect our industry and loving as ourselves. Not the limit.
