$9 billion dollar windfall for film industry

June 29, 2006 | General | By: Mark VandeWettering

The BBC is reporting that the FBI has arrested thirteen individuals who are part of a massive film piracy ring. They claim that these individuals may account for half of all pirate video in the U.S. Wow. That’s major.

The article goes on to say that film piracy costs the film industry $18 billion each year. So, with the arrest of these individuals, the film industry should show an extra $9 billion in profits in the coming year. Cigars all around!

I mean, that makes sense, right?
