If you’ve been tricked into believing the lie that software piracy is a bad thing; somehow it’s morally wrong and should be punished heavily, then this little nugget from a story about Sony’s reboot of the Karate Kid franchise should help wake you up.

China can be one of the biggest-grossing countries outside of the United States for certain films, even though DVD piracy is rampant and there aren’t a lot of theaters. “Avatar” grossed the local currency equivalent of $195 million, second only to the U.S. gross. [1]

Don’t believe the hype. Formulate your own opinion.

If you still believe that piracy is causing Hollywood to go bankrupt, you might be right, you might be wrong - but at least you’re thinking for yourself.
