Stories about how companies steal from producers through copyright laws and regulations are not something new. We always hear about Hollywood conspiracies to steal material and “slave” anyone who produced something that is worth selling. Hollywood and companies like Hollywood do make millions of dollars out of copyrighted material, but they also provided services which are valuable to original authors which they would probably not be able to do themselves. Companies like Hollywood are responsible for many of the anti piracy movements which are in effect today. Individual authors would not be able to take action against the millions of people who use their work without paying for it. Companies like Hollywood in this case can and will take action against them. Companies like Hollywood are also responsible for distributing the goods they produce. Individual authors would have a hard time trying to distribute their ideas and products around the globe if companies like Hollywood wouldn’t distribute these goods for them. Hollywood and companies like Hollywood are not entirely the blood sucking monsters some people portray them to be.
