What is an IMAX film?

IMAX stands for image maximum, it is a motion picture film format. Conventional 35 mm film limited to 6K lines of horizontal resolution, IMAX-format film frame produces approximately 18 thousand lines (18K) of horizontal resolution, IMAX brings higher viewing quality to the audience but requires 65 mm film.

Is piracy theft? 

I think it is theft because the producers are not getting the money they deserve for making the film, however so many people  do it and the film industry as become so expensive that its kind of the only way that some people can watch them. Also the film is still getting viewed and will get spoken about. 

Independent films are effected more by piracy than the big 6 as the film companies are losing money which they never had in the first place.
