Behind The Scenes

The support provided by the UK for filming industries are very well known. Its inward-investment production of films had generated £1.233bn in 2014. It is has been researched that the UK has quite an holistic approach when in the situation or the sudden appearance of protectiveness towards protecting its intellectual property, as well as when facing piracy. Because of this it helps expand upon the filming industries as well as portrays the UK as a creative environment.

Site Blocking: Within the UK they enforce issue injunctions within their courts, giving the filming industries the rights of owning their productions, meaning blocking any sites showcasing their movies without their perimestion, this in other words is called 'illegal activity' done by those within the public, who showcase film industries m0vies where they don't get any profit for their work. For reasons like these it is highly encouraged that no electronics are used within cinemas, this is so that filming industries can protect their work. However, there are times where this fails and doesn't protect them from piracy, this is where the law and court come in, the courts within the UK help protect filming industries by blocking over 100 sites who are believed to be infringing copyright for comerical gain.

"The movie industry excels in selling dreams. But since the dawn of the digital revolution, there is one narrative they've consistently and conspicuously failed to sell: that piracy is theft and consumers who indulge ought to feel guilty about it. Recent research by Ipsos suggests that almost 30% of the UK population is active in some form of piracy, either through streaming content online or buying counterfeit DVDs. Such theft costs the UK audiovisual industries about £500m a year." This was quoted from an article from The Guardian.
