At a global film summit, regulators and rightsholders paised site-blocking successes, but they also faced unexpected pushback from one of the panelists.
His first example came from the same summit. That morning, McKenzie said, a filmmaker had told the audience that his film was banned in Egypt but that people could still see it there thanks to piracy.
When dealing with this type of banned content and censorship, piracy is put in a different light, apparently with filmmakers praising it. However, when poor people pirate, they face legal issues, McKenzie said. He called the industry’s approach “a bit schizophrenic” with “dual standards.”
Not really a double standard as most people use the term. If it’s not available by standard means, it’s not really piracy.
