Sony Pictures CEO Insists Piracy Is Killing Movie Business

He's back at it, pushing for the UK (and others) to pass laws kicking people off the internet (so-called "three strikes" laws) while insisting that due to piracy there's less money to make movies and fewer movies being made.
The problem, again, seems to be that the folks at the movie studios (just like those at the record labels) only like to count the big hits as successes -- rather than the smaller projects that actually make money and make up the majority of the actual market.
That's ok, because I hate Michael Lynton, Sony and the "big hit" movies.
