Abstract

Movie piracy across Latin America is usual business, but nowhere like in the streets of Caracas. There, you will find movie stores that sell pirated blockbusters from the Box Office on demand, with the highest customer service quality, in the open. Ask these solicitous shop owners for any movie on any given day, no matter how vintage or special it may be, and they will deliver it the next day. They offer the widest selection of films you can think of, in well-organized catalogs that make the impressive offerings of places like Netflix or Amazon pale by comparison.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Disney put his full creative ingenuity to make his Oswald cartoons look “real,” thus turning away from the styles of Felix the Cat, Koko the Clown and Krazy Kat and instead emulating the camera angles, effects and editing of live-action films. To learn how to base gags on personality and how to build comic routines, rather than heaping one gag after another, he studied Laurel and Hardy, Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. In order to stir emotion in an audience, Disney studied and scrutinized the shadow effects, cross-cutting and staging of action in films featuring Douglas Fairbanks and Lon Chaney (Canemaker 1994).

  2. 2.

    For example, the South Korean government assumes the cost of funding litigation where the ownership of companies in this country is questioned (Ghafele and Gibert 2012: 18).
