Piracy is the perfect culprit to explain the change through the creative industry in general. A British university study cleared the field and prove that the truth lies elsewhere. In-between.
We need to rethink the digital culture. It is essential to take a step back to analyze an unprecedented situation. It is imperative to detach only studies sponsored by the actors of "creation." It is important not to destroy the liberties online only argument that piracy would destroy the entertainment industry. Best, this last assertion is based?
Increasing or stable income
It is these points that a study by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) sifts. Starting with this credo is that piracy starts to hurt the global economy entertainment.However, as stated in the summary report of the study, "despite what the MPAA says, which means that online piracy destroy the film industry, Hollywood has achieved record revenues in global box office with $ 35 billion in 2012, an increase of 6% compared to 2011. "
Trend in total revenue for the music industry, in millions of dollars.
Evolution Landscape
And the report of the LSE argues that contrary to the film industries and the music forward, they are not in a terminal decline. Best, they reap handsome profits, notably related to revenue growth in digital sales, subscriptions to streaming services or concerts, which "offset losses from declining CD sales."
A reverse trend illustrated by an example. In Britain, in 2013, sales have been dematerialized music for the first time higher than that of CD and vinyl, 55% against 45. The study also indicates that no evidence can be brought to a sharp decline in income from music majors.Changes in income of the various activities of the majors would be more related to a new balance, the impact of the digital revolution to the overall negative impact of piracy.

Find new ways
The report from the London School of Economics and Political Science also puts forward the good performance of the video game that has "introduce new ways to generate revenue [...]working with participatory culture online industry and not against it. " Although DRM represent a large weight in the sector.
A participatory digital culture and openness that emerged with the adoption of increasingly common, according to the report, the Creative Commons licenses and the rise of services such as SoundCloud, which allow artists to share their fans.

Amount of revenue from the digital distribution of music, in billions of dollars.
Copyright and new options
A culture of sharing that is not understood by the copyright warriors, who do not otherwise take over the mills, according to the authors of the study. Although sharing is not easily compatible with the copyright.
Laws which tend to harden the traditional positions of the "majors" have several shortcomings for the LSE. First, they target "users individually what will happen quite unlikely to reverse a movement like the culture of sharing online." Then there was "an urgent need for an independent audit of statements that the creative industry is suffering" of these exchanges."Unfortunately, governments have little choice except to take into account studies controlled by the representatives of the creative industry announced a drastic reduction in income.They are forced to take these results as the best available results, "since there is no other.
The choice to legislate
Especially since the legislative hardening also threatens certain liberties online, is often behind the technological landscape that is evolving very quickly. The study and takes a well-known case, that of France and recalls the conclusions of the study by the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies, funded by the European Commission, published in March, the IFPI(International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) was widely criticized.
The study showed that if Hadopi has actually affected the choices (illegal) services for Internet users, it was also found that France also has the highest content streamed in comparison to other countries. P2P has been replaced by another solution ...
The solution would be to find elsewhere. "When [the rights holders and users] can realize the full potential of the Internet, will be maximized while creating innovative content for the benefit of all," says the study, which will ultimately condemns neither party, but just wants to put things in perspective. Piracy does not kill the creative industry. It just needs to find a new path and adapt to a new era without contributing to the reduction of online freedoms. An ultimately more complicated than hammering a single truth and loaded weight of a heavy task legacy systems.
