INDIE-WIRE reports "Revenant" & "Hateful Eight" were illegally downloaded 1 million times

INDIE-WIRE news. As the award season begins. Studios send out DVD screener's to guild members & more importantly to Academy Award members for consideration with Oscars. Screeners are also sent out to film critics for reviews. So, who is to know who actually illegally uploads to the Internet? "The Revenant" & "The Hateful Eight" are the most recent films to appear online before they even hit theaters. When news broke of those films hitting the internet. By the afternoon, 1 million downloads were tallied for both films. All this before the FBI began tracing the screener's uploaded from which Internet Provider. 

"The Hateful Eight" & "The Revenant" open tomorrow Dec. 25, 2015. I'll you this. I will see them on the big screen where it is intended to be seen.
