Spacey said the critical and commercial success of "House of Cards" "demonstrated that we have learned the lesson that the music industry didn't learn
- give people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a reasonable price, and they'll more likely pay for it rather than steal it." In another event at the festival Friday, Spacey said that movie producers could adopt a similar approach to help beat piracy, releasing films simultaneously online, in cinemas and on DVD. Spacey said that "would be a huge bite out of piracy because if it's all available nobody is going to be stealing it before someone else gets it." Spacey is currently filming a second series of "House of Cards," on which he is an executive producer. He also is artistic director of London's Old Vic Theatre.
