Controlling for other variables that could affect the income of a film they found that the post-BitTorrent movies captured less resources previously. The greater the delay, the greater the loss. More striking, the most popular genres suffered more with the online pirates. "After BitTorrent, the release delay effect in science fiction movies and action is much greater than in other genres," said Danaher. He estimates that this type of piracy has led to an annual decrease of $ 240 million in box office revenue of weekends in the 17 countries studied.
