, INTRODUCTION
In this essay, piracy is discussed. Piracy is seen as a threat in some circles and
also viewed with positivity as an underground channel through which cultural
globalisation can operate. This essay will also break down the relationship
between the current international flow and distribution of film and the
organisational structure of Hollywood. The next topic of discussion in this essay
is the differentiation between tourist-generating regions (TGRs) and tourist
destination regions (TDRs). Tourism is influenced by economic factors,
technological factors, political factors, environmental factors as well as
demographic and sociohistorical factors. These five factors are discussed in
particular with how Covid-19 might have an impact on the flow of tourists into
tourist destination regions.
QUESTION 1
1.1 By referring to Mattelart’s article, critically discuss the difference between
piracy
1.1.1 Piracy is an act of illegally reproducing or disseminating copyrighted material,
such as computer programs, books, music, and films (Hosch, 2009).
According to the Motion Picture Association in Mattelart, T. (2009.309), ‘Piracy
is the biggest threat to the US motion picture industry’. The movie industry
excels in selling dreams. But since the dawn of the digital revolution, there is
one narrative they have consistently and conspicuously failed to sell: that
piracy is theft and consumers who indulge ought to feel guilty about it
(Lodderhose, 2014). Year after year, the organisations responsible for
defending the interests of these companies compile statistics of ‘doom and
gloom’ on the extent of piracy around the world (Mattelart, 2009).
There are numerous reports that are published with the statistics of piracy and
the impact it has on the film industry worth billions of US Dollars. It is somewhat
surprising that so many and such precise figures are published in the various
studies of the pirating of cultural products, since this is a phenomenon
