Actor Freeman warns film industry of piracy threat

It would appear, at first blush, that having to go to the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center to get a domain-squatter to relinquish control of www.morganfreeman.com has perhaps given Morgan Freeman a highly biased view of DRM issues in cyberspace (see: Freeman Wins Rights to Name in Cyberspace).

Mike Collett-White writes for Reuters:

With high-speed Internet connections on the upswing, piracy could hit the movie industry as hard as it did the music business, Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman warned.

Freeman is telling movie makers that they must wise up quickly to stay ahead of illegal downloaders and file sharers who are using new software and high-speed broadband connections.
