  • Indicators of Movie Quality an Exploratory Research Into Movie Quality
    Indicators of movie quality An exploratory research into movie quality Student name: Veronique Alida Maria Starmans Student number: 386815 Supervisor: Dr. Christian Wolfgang Handke Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam Master Thesis Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship June 2017 Academic Year: 2016 – 2017 1 Abstract The movie industry is constantly evolving, prompting production studios to rethink their movies in order to keep up with these changes. This thesis aims to find out how different indicators of movie quality are correlated and how these indicators can provide useful information to movie production studios before and after the production of a movie. This is done by answering the man research question: How consistent are indicators of movie quality? To make the concept of quality measurable, I use indicators of quality such as: box office revenue, production budget, award nominations, award wins, and review ratings, several other variables derived from literature. After analysing these variables I conclude that there is a consistent correlation between budget and box office revenue, which could provide information to producers before production starts, and there is a correlation between box office revenue and the review ratings, which could provide information after production ends. I conclude by discussing the difficulties in measuring the concept of quality and the other possible indicators of quality which are not included in this thesis.

  • Reply Comment on Anticircumvention Rulemaking--Perkins
    Name Matthew Perkins Minneapolis, Minnesota Classes of works (1) Any digital-format work, including but not limited to Compact Discs (CDs) and Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs) which contain material not available in a comparable analog format [ …]. (comment 5) (2) [Literary works, sound recordings, or other audiovisual works] restricted by access controls that tether the work to a specific device or platform, thereby preventing a lawful possessor from using the work on an unsupported system in a non-infringing way. (comment 20) (3) Motion pictures on DVD. (comment 10) (4) Audiovisual works on DVD protected by the Content Scrambling System (CSS). (comment 15) (5) Ancillary audiovisual works distributed on Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs) using the Content Scrambling System (CSS) of access control. (comment 21) (6) Any work to which the user had lawful initial access […] after any period of lawful access if the user has physical possession of a copy of the work. (comment 28) Summary of Argument Virtually all of the classes proposed above were likewise proposed and rejected during the 2000 Anticircumvention Rulemaking. The Copyright Office based its ultimate rejection on, among others, three conclusions which I challenge in support of the proposals: (A) DVD access-control measures have increased the availability for use of copyrighted works; (B) harms related to merged access- and use-control technologies are balanced by the presence of unprotected analog alternatives; and (C) although not available on alternative analog formats, DVD ancillary material is available precisely because of the format’s employment of access-control technologies. The argument contained in this Reply Comment applies to each proposed class referenced above.
