Direct link to paper: <a href="http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Delivery.cfm/SSRN_ID2176246_code1545989.pdf?abstractid=2176246&#38;mirid=1" rel="nofollow">http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Delivery.cfm/SSRN_ID2176246_code...</a><p>Someone more statistical than I can correct me on this, but by using on average 21 observations per movie (presumably for different weeks), aren't they creating dependence between observations which will artificially increase the p-values and r-squared?

Haven't read the paper, but just based on the article I'd be curious to see the affect on blockbusters compared to say, their rotten tomatoes scores (or whatever). It'd be interesting to see whether the opposite of the reasoning applied for the smaller movies people may not have heard of ("I saw xxxxx, it was great you should see it") applies to the blockbusters with a lot of publicity and promotion behind them ("Yeah, I downloaded xxxxx, it was dreadful..").

If this was true (and I'm dubious of the "find"), it should be something for movie makers to consider when it comes to distributing their movies.<p>What this shouldn't be used for, though, is the default excuse by pirates when stealing intellectual property. "My theft actually helps, see?!?!?" Even if there is some financial gain, more is lost when the fundamental IP rights are stolen.

I really wish HN had a rule against blogspam like this. How about the original post: <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/megaupload-shutdown-hurt-box-office-revenues-121124/" rel="nofollow">http://torrentfreak.com/megaupload-shutdown-hurt-box-office-...</a><p>Or maybe the paper itself? <a href="http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2176246" rel="nofollow">http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2176246</a>

I am too lazy ... ummm busy to read the paper right now, but well, is it really causation, or some very, very weak correlation?

Why don't film makers put the first 10 minutes of a film on Bittorrent a week or month before release? This could offer many of the advantages and still allows them to earn direct revenue. I know some have tried similar models and other studies have shown leaks help the success of a film.

The story's title is different, but I guess it doesn't fit on HN?
