Online pirates prefer streaming to downloads. Last year there was a total of 78.5 billion visits to film and TV piracy websites worldwide, of which nearly three-quarters went to streaming sites.

In the late 1970s the multiplex arrived. Here are some remarkable stories from a passionate picture show man. Village 4 Cinemas - Parramatta. The funniest thing about Village patrons were the group of people affectionately ...

Piracy websites: A high-risk business

Piracy websites: A high-risk business. Australians who visit piracy websites face a far greater risk of unwittingly downloading malicious software or being exposed to scams and advertising for sex and gambling than those in many other countries. Just 1% of the advertising on rogue websites accessed from Australia is from mainstream businesses, according to research conducted by Professor Paul Watters for New Zealand’s Massey University.

The real costs of "the culture of the free"
http://www.contentcafe.org.au/articles-stories-everything/the-real-costs-of-the-culture-of-the-free
The real costs of the culture of the free. By Andrew Pike, OAM. One Australian distributor to the education market whose business failed spoke about the damage done by what he called the expectation of the free. As a distributor for 42 years, I think it is important to examine what he was referring to. This expectation of “the free” on the part of librarians, teachers and the general public is one that we are dealing with constantly in the digital age. From this base a range of other marketplace activiti...

The PC Report takes a massive swipe at Aussie Creators

The PC Report takes a massive swipe at Aussie Creators. Mad Max, Muriel Heslop, Deb Mailman, Barnsey, Farnsey, Flume, Sia and Magda. What do they have in common? We all know them because they represent the best of our creative culture – and our Australian identity. They are unique to us: this sunburnt country, this wide brown land. We want to sing along with them, laugh with them, even be them because they make us proud to be Australian. What is important to protect? This article was first published in T...
