Is it that large? The true estimates I saw suggest less than 400,000 people? Is that bigger than the tech industry?

- nl 15y agoThe movie making industry is around 400,000, with another 120,000 working in movie theatres[1]. The entertainment industry is much larger though. Also, SOPA is supported by the pharmaceutical and retail industries, which are large employers as well. The software industry probably employs around 2 million (1.7 million in 2007) [2].
