Mayor Bloomberg And Mpaa Unveil Anti-Video Piracy Campaign
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today unveiled a public awareness campaign featuring a series of print and broadcast advertisements designed to combat the creation, distribution, and sale of illegally recorded films in New York City. Featuring PSAs to run on TV and in movie theaters and several bus shelters advertisements, the campaign sends the message that movie piracy harms our economy, kills jobs and impacts all New Yorkers. The Mayor also signed legislation that strengthens the penalty for illegally videotaping a film from a violation to a misdemeanor with increased jail time. The campaign and bill signing follow the October 2006 announcement of the City's three-pronged approach to combating piracy: tougher legislation, stepped-up enforcement and increased public awareness. The Mayor was joined by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, Criminal Justice Coordinator John Feinblatt, Film, Theatre & Broadcasting Commissioner Katherine Oliver, Councilman David Yassky, MPAA Vice President and Director of U.S. Anti-Piracy Operations Mike Robinson, Tribeca Film Festival founder Jane Rosenthal, and Director Jay Roach at the announcement and bill signing at City Hall.

Newsroom
Latest news about Entertainment cases in Indiana and nationwide:
Definition:
The umbrella under which a group of managers function as a single incorporated entity. Long known for small client lists and focused attention on development of clients, management companies, in the last decade, have, in most cases, shifted their role in the market. Today, most management companies perform dually as client representation and producer.
Distributor
Definition:
From studios to exhibitors, the distributor sells viewing rights for a finished film. Somewhat of an intermediary function, distribution creates initial revenue for the source that financed the project. Its basic function is to sell the viewing rights of a motion picture to specifically designated areas. Based on the elements involved in the feature, the costs of these rights vary and are just a fraction of the income for distributors.
Advertising
Definition:
Delivery of a persuasive message about a product, service, or idea to a large group of people at a single time through the use of mass media.
