Why they still say BT and pirate killed the movie industry?
New tech and pirate may rob a lot of revenue from movie makers, but real good *(in the marketing sense. not artistic sense) movie still make much noise, and money.

What really bothers me is that the local movie industry made it sounded like the BT technology is at fault.
What is BT? BT is a piece of technology, not "Bad Taste". Those who uses BT to do any thing illigal (and I am not implying what is or what's not illigal) are at fault, not BT itself.
They suck, the managements of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
A few years back I was working in an entertainment dot-com. I proposed the idea to organize an online music community, include discussion, news, and most important, area / storage for members to publicize their works. The company will then have a new source of new singers (sign-up with anyone good and popular in the community), and will have a chance to test the new distribution channels of Internet (they don't have to test Internet selling with top stars, but can test with the new singers discovered on the Net).
Nobody give a damn to my idea. For you-can-guess-why reasons... when a 's'.
Didn't your previous employer specialize in signing up established and established-but-slightly-out artists? Promoting new artists would upset the status quo, which is against the interest of the large number of artist-shareholders.
It is also in the interest of the entertainment industry to make it difficult to go into the show biz. This way there is a limited supply of new acts, which means it's easier to manupulate the taste of the buying public and more likely to recover their investment, not to mention the tough contract terms they can impose on these new acts.

Now there are very popular 'Internet singers'.

The problem is more than status-quo or not.
(1) they need money desperately. Anything can't bring immediately revenue will not be considered.
(2) they prefer to promote those not-so-popular-but-they-thing-good artiste, rather than promote new comers.
(3) there are secret affairs when comes to the promotion of new artiste.
oooo, "Secret Affairs"; any hanky panky?
