Buzz or Bust? The Influence of P2P File Sharing

CNet’s Greg Sandoval explores the impact of P2P file sharing on Hollywood movie releases. Do they build buzz or bust ticket sales?

Personally, I don’t believe that file-sharing helps build buzz. Its the result of buzz. People want to see a movie without standing in line, sitting in a bad seat, and paying for an overpriced ticket. But they download because they already have made the decision whether or not to see the film. Just not how they’ll see it.

How do you see it?

    “Bad seats” are one of my big complaints about the movie theatre.

    Honestly… I want my own arm rests! It’s uncomfortable sharing arm rests with others.

    I’m a bigger guy. (I do alot of weight lifting.) So I need the space.
