Fight pirates, protect the movie industry

Movie piracy refers to the illegal activity of making multiple copies of films, without permission, and then selling or hiring these reproductions for profit. Globally, this practice is so widespread that 'pirate copies' of some titles are available prior to their public release.

It is in the interest of all movie lovers to help stamp out movie piracy. Buying a cheap 'pirate copy' of a film might seem like a victimless crime but the repercussions are felt throughout the industry. Movie copyright owners have been hard hit, along with cinemas and video rental and retail businesses across Australia. Ultimately, there is less money for the development and distribution of new films. Everyone suffers — from actors through to audiences.
