In the standard 35mm film, there are up to 6k lines, whereas in 4K there are approximately 18k lines of horizontal resolution.

There are currently 30 IMAX theatres in the UK

Personally I think that Piracy can be considered theft or fair depending on the circumstances. I would say that it is theft if you have recorded it at the cinema and are distributing it or making money from it. However, although it's still technically theft, I would say that it is fair play to an extent if you are watching a film illegally after the film's box office run.

30% of the UK population actively involved in piracy

The indie production companies are more effected by piracy as they depend on the local distributors in all countries to take a risk and invest in their film.
