P2P and Cinematic Movie Distribution in Hungary
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we analyze data collected from three of the biggest Hungarian bittorrent based filesharing communities between 2008 May-June, and Hungarian cinema distribution data from the same period. We asked if the number of downloads for any given film correlates with ticket sales, revenues, the number of cinemas where the film was shown or any other statistical data on the traditional movie distribution infrastructure we had access to. Our results show that 3 out of 4 downloaded films were not available in Hungarian cinemas and only 1 out of 30 downloaded films actually screened when it was downloaded.
