Only Content Industries Can Create Content People Want, Says MPAA’s Attaway

“Our industries do something that no one else can do,” the Motion Picture Association of America’s Fritz Attaway said at the Association of American Publishers annual meeting this morning. “We create content that people want to have.”
“Education is key,” Attaway said. “It is absolutely ridiculous that a movie that cost $100 million to create, a copy of which you paid $20 for, to say that you own that movie and should make any number of copies you want to.”
Sorry to say, but I don't want to have MPAA's content. It's boring and not entertaining. Besides, I want to avoid this industry as much as possible. Productions costs are so high simply because money is wasted and "lost" thanks to creative accounting. When some movie starlet gets paid $10 million for playing in a movie, it's easy to see where those costs are coming from; and frankly, I don't care about those costs. If I'd buy a copy, I consider it my personal property, and with my property I do whatever I want, no matter if they like it or not.
