Senators Feinstein and Cornyn Call on Canada Prime Minister to Help Stop Video Piracy
U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) have sent a letter to the Prime Minister of Canada, calling his attention to the dramatic increase in movie piracy that has occurred in Canada since the United States enacted tougher laws and penalties.
Senators Feinstein and Cornyn called on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to enact a law similar to one they introduced in 2003 to crack down on video and audio piracy, specifically banning the recording of movies before they are released to video.
“The digital recording of movies before or during their initial theatrical release is one of the most serious piracy problems faced by the motion picture industry,” Senator Feinstein said. “A worldwide study commissioned by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) concluded that in 2005 movie piracy cost the Canadian film industry and your government $225 million and $34 million, respectively, in lost revenues. If Canada does not criminalize illicit recording, we are afraid that illegal pirating will continue to mushroom in your country.”
Senators Feinstein and Cornyn introduced the Artists’ Rights and Theft Prevention Act (ART Act) in 2003. The legislation was signed into law in April 2005 as part of the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2005. Read more at feinstein.senate.gov.
Production Company is a major factor in entertainment
The production company acts as central headquarters for all stages of production. They range in size from a single person to over twenty employees and commit to duties ranging from the inception of an idea to making sure the final print's delivered to the theater on premiere night. They're core functions, however, are to assist the headlining producer in developing scripts, attaching talent, and running the day-to-day production activity. Although a handful of production companies fall under corporate studio umbrellas that cover their overhead, most work on a project-to-project basis much like the artists.
