>He also told the audience that pirate-site operators "aren't teenagers playing an elaborate prank. The perpetrators are real-life mobsters, organized crime syndicates—many of whom engage in child pornography, prostitution, drug trafficking, and other societal ills. They operate websites that draw in millions of unsuspecting viewers whose personal data can then fall prey to malware and hackers." I have a great idea that will greatly reduce the traffic to pirate sites: Reduce the copyright on movies to 1 year. Most of the money is made in initial release in theaters anyway. It well help preserve our cultural heritage. And it will greatly reduce demand for pirate sites.
