SPAIN: Hollywood Threatens Ending DVDs Due To Piracy Downloads.
GUARDIAN.UK/ The unauthorised downloading of films from the internet is so common in Spain that it might join South Korea as a nation where dvds are not sold. Broadband has made streaming and downloading movies easier while dvd sales and rentals have plummeted. Music expert Antonio Guisasola said he was not surprised Hollywood was considering pulling out. "There has never been a clear message here that downloading is piracy. The statistics show that 30% of the Spanish population uses file-sharing sites, against an average of 15% in the rest of Europe."
