Because a movie can be reproduced and viewed in multiple places. The
invention
of film and phonographs introduced a whole new mode of production here.
This early 20th century mode of production is now under attack by the new

legislation on copyright, the pursuit of people who run file sharing sites
as 'pirates' etc.
