Piracy
is rampant on the Internet. THE HATEFUL EIGHT & THE REVENANT have
been uploaded to websites already. Both films will be released on
Christmas Day 2015 which is only a few days away.
Studios
try to protect their product. It all depends on who releases DVD copy screener's
for voting members to watch. All the Guild's try to get you into a
theater to watch their movies. SAG sends out DVD screener's only if the
film has already been released. If films are still in current release,
then they send you a preview DVD. Then, they tell you where to go to watch it in
theaters. (So you can vote for SAG awards). It all depends on, which Guild you are part of. People in the
entertainment industry just cannot wait to upload it illegally because
they want to be known as the first to do so. It makes them important
which they are not.
When
I was on the SAG-TV nominating committee. I was sent DVD screener's of
TV shows that had already aired in prime-time. I
was also invited to screenings to watch with other committee members. What I liked was getting a code number to screen Cable TV shows. I got all access to full season TV episodes. I loved it! Piracy
will continue to happen if a studios put their products in the wrong
hands.
