LionsGate Wants Pirate Sites To Pay For 'Expendables' 3 Leak (torrentfreak.com)
An anonymous reader writes: During the summer of 2014, the movie studio LionsGate suffered a major setback when a high quality leak of the then-unreleased Expendables 3 film appeared online. Fearing a massive loss in revenue, the movie studio sued the operators of several websites that allegedly failed to remove the infringing files. Over the past year there has been little progress in the case as most of the accused site operators failed to respond to LionsGate's complaint. In a new filing at the California district court, LionsGate indicates a desire to move forward by asking for a default judgment against the operators of LimeTorrents and the (already defunct) Dotsemper and Swankshare sites. Previously LionsGate settled with the operator of video hosting service Played.to.
and you can get less time by just shoplift movies vs downloading them.
Our business model relies on our ability to DUPE theater goers into thinking the movie will be GREAT!! when in fact, it is actually shit on a screen!
Pre-release exposure of our product prevents us from selling shit on a screen as if it were GREAT!!, which impacts our bottom line!
We DEMAND restitution from these groups that leaked our shit product, revealing it for the shit that it is!
A "high quality leak" of any Expendables film is inconceivable.
I took a high quality leak at a showing of an Expendables movie once. Does that count?
Only if you stood in front of the screen doing so.
