... A / NEWS / FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM --- TELEVISION Anderson Cooper to pitch new show Anderson Cooper is looking to keep'em honest, even in the daytime. The CNN host has inked a deal with Telepictures Productions and Warner Bros. Domestic Television for an hour-long daytime program to launch in fall 2011, according to a press release; it's expected to be pitched to stations in the upcoming weeks. The show, targeting female viewers, will have a topical format — with subjects ranging from pop culture fair (LiLo, watch out!) to social issues and news stories. There might even be a guest or two (a mix of celebs, newsmakers and real people) and hidden camera experiments. "It's fun and interesting to work in daytime television," said Cooper, who will serve as an executive producer, in a statement. "The format is unique and you can really go in-depth on a wide range of fascinating and compelling stories. With this new program, I hope to relay important information and relate to people and the audience in a completely different way. It's an exciting opportunity to show another side of myself and create something worthwhile and special in daytime." For fans of his nighttime gig, there's no need to start channel surfing.

S.B. $ ^{1} $ MOVIES Filmmaker gains audience online, loses ticket profits Ian Vern Tan MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Greg Carter spent the last three years scraping together $250,000 to write, direct and produce "A Gangland Love Story," a gratty, urban retelling of "Romeo and Juliet." Unfortunately, winning an audience has come at a steep price. The viewers of Carter's film watched it from pirate movie sites and never paid for it. Carter figures the unauthorized viewing has cost him as much as $100,000 in lost revenue, dashing hope that he'll ever see a profit. "It feels like someone is walking into your house and stealing your furniture," said Carter, 38. "The big studios can absorb it, but guys like me, we are not millionaires. We're fighting like crazy for every dollar, every nickel, every penny just to survive in this marketplace." Carter's case illustrates how movie piracy is undermining the small fry of Hollywood: the independent filmmakers, who have also been squeezed by tightening credit and fewer outlets for their work as the studios have retrenched from making specialty films. Since its DVD release in July, audiences have embraced it: More than 60,000 viewers have watched the movie on the Internet, giving the independent filmmaker a coveted public following. The Hollywood studios have for years warned that piracy harms their business, especially when copies of big summer movies leak out on the Internet and undercut ticket sales. But the alarms haven't elicited much sympathy among the public. The spread of high-speed Internet services and streaming software has made it easy for consumers to watch movies and TV shows without paying the people who create them. Filmmakers like Carter, who typically can't afford the battery of lawyers to go after purveyors of unauthorized content, have been hit especially hard. Some filmmakers and distributors are fighting back, hiring lawyers to file copyright infringement their purchases of DVDs as legitimate online viewing options become readily available. Most independent filmmakers don't rely on ticket sales to recoup their investment because the majority of their films never make it into theaters. Instead, independent films rely on DVD sales when their movies head directly into the home video market. But consumers have substantially cut back on cases against websites that offer free movies, as well as against individuals suspected of illegally downloading from file-sharing services. The most high-profile case involves "The Hurt Locker," which won six Oscars but earned only $16.4 million at the box office in the U.S. and Canada, an unusually low gross for a best-picture winner. Some blamed the effects of online piracy — the movie was available on the Web months before its arrival in theaters. Voltage Pictures, the film's producer, obtained IP addresses for 5,000 people it claims shared the film illegally. Voltage is now suing them. "More people downloaded the movie for free than actually paid for it," said Thomas Dunlap, who has filed copyright infringement lawsuits on behalf of more than a dozen indie filmmakers and distributors, including Voltage and Maverick Entertainment following a similarly controversial tactic used by the Recording Industry Assn. of America several years ago in an effort to fight the piracy of music. "It feels like someone is walking into your house and stealing your furniture." Group, the company that distributed Carter's movie. ured Carter's movie. Some relief has come from the federal government. This summer, federal authorities seized domain names of nine websites — such as TVShack.net and ThePirateCity.org — that offered downloads of pirated movies and drew 6.7 million visitors a month. But, underscoring how difficult it is to crack on Internet piracy, a Dutch website that the government shut down popped up just days later under a slightly different name. GREG CARTER Filmmaker Some filmmakers have taken matters into their own hands. Ellen Seidler, who teaches journalism at UC Berkeley, used her retirement savings and took out a second mortgage on her home to co-produce and co-direct her first film, "And Then Came Lola," a lesbian romantic comedy that has played on the film festival circuit. 1 Since its DVD release in May, Seidler has discovered at least 2,000 different copies of the movie, some with subtitles in Chinese, Russian, Arabic and Turkish, and more than 25,000 illegal download links and streams to her film on various websites. Seidler often spends several hours each day firing off e-mails and "take down" notices to websites that have free links to her film, often alongside advertising from legitimate companies such as Sony Corp., RadioShack Corp, and Netflix Inc. The links disappear only to reappear on another site. "It's like playing wack a mole," she said. "Sitting here watching our work getting taken away — it's just disheartening. We're independent artists and we're the ones who can least afford it." "A Gangland Love Story" was released on DVD and on videoon-demand in late July and got write-ups in the Houston Chronicle and Voice of America.
