The European Film Piracy Summit
11th January 2005 - The Langham Hotel, London, UK
--------------------------------------------------
The threat is real
>From camcorders in cinemas and counterfeit DVDs on market stalls at
weekends, the regular public face of film piracy is all too
apparent.
Online piracy is gaining momentum in what is perceived to be a
harmless way of seeing new films quickly and easily and of course
for free!
Within the industry the impact is starting to be felt as revenues
are eroded and quality is compromised. The music industry has learnt
the cost of complacency - don't make the same mistake.
Ignore the piracy threat at your own risk
The European Film Piracy Summit is a one-day conference with a
practical, issue-solving approach. Topics include:
- What the industry can do as individual companies and as a
collective
- The implications of new technology
- New legislation, enforcement and tougher sentencing
- Educating and informing the general public
With expert speakers from Blockbuster, Warner Bros. Entertainment,
Columbia Tristar, FACT, UK Film Council, Macrovision, Buena Vista
Home Entertainment Europe and more, the event really will cover all
the angles.
