"To be frank I think piracy is abhorrent. It takes a lot of money, time and the energy of huge numbers of people to create a film.”

"Piracy means less effort can be put into film, especially for independent filmmakers who are working to much smaller budgets.”

"Brad Pitt is not asking you or me for millions to see his films, just a fair price for a cinema seat.”

"If you download his film from the web, it's not him that is hurt, it's everyone else who helped to make the film and didn't get paid millions that feels the pinch.”

“A great many people spend a great deal of time producing, filming, editing and creating
films. The end result that we see at the cinema is the culmination of a lot of hard work; copyright theft just undermines all that effort.”

“To see our hardwork and effort stolen through copyright theft is a bit like returning home to find your front door kicked in and the contents of your house missing.”

“People who purchase or download knock-off copies damage the livelihoods of all of
us who work in this industry as we receive no payments for our work.”
