In the digital world your old school ideas of property are useless. There is no such thing as "fair use" except as a defense against a law suit. you claim to have such great insight into copyright issues yet you fail to realize that the world has changed around you and the old ideas about physical property are gone. The rights belong to those that can control them and you're railing against the inevitable is useless.
Actually the screener is a low resolution copy of the actual film and has very little relationship to what is on the disk we ship. The DRM is there to make sure we get paid by the theater for the box office not to stop consumers from getting a copy. None of your arguments have any meaning in this context.
Most of these millions of people wouldn't have paid to see in the first place.
Then they shouldn't have gotten to see it in the first place.
Just because you wouldn't pay for it doesn't mean you have any business getting it at all!
Yeah try that and let me know how the JP2K decryption goes, and let me know what player you use to watch it on cause I've got news. What was DRMed for that theater was not a simple avi and you can't gen a key for it without the certs for the entire key chain.
We understand that you want everything for free and you want to freeload off the backs of the artists. Clear as a bell. Property isn't what it used to be. The digital world is different and your model of the world is gone. Get over it.
Things like this shed light on the pitfalls of DRM.
First run theatrical films will never be shipped to a theater unencrypted. This is not your run of the mill DRM.
I don't care what you think of it we are not shipping first run theatrical resolution films unencrypted. Get over it people at this level encryption is here to stay.
Wow, still no actual content that is relevant to the article. Argent here is correct you don't even understand what it is you are defending or why you are bashing me for defending what it is I'm defending, which I wasn't actually defending, I was merely pointing out a small fact that escaped your attention.
default to a locked down configuration and let me allow them access if I wish.
Wow, sounds like exactly what Vista did and everybody immediately turned off because it was annoying as hell.
I'm not sure exactly what it is you are talking about. You didn't read the summary or the article? If you run a program that you just legitimately installed it can harvest any data in your personal space. Regardless of the OS or security settings. I have no idea what it is you just said.
No more than any other UNIX system is, this is true. Unix has also had the security thing pounded into them but they still make mistakes. What's your point.
I don't believe there was any actual content in your post. But I'm not sure. It's still not news and no one is paying for anything. What exactly are you talking about.

Not seeing a lot of the distribution and post industry moving to Canada. Some of it is to escape the California taxes.
35 mm prints are going away they are too expensive to print and ship. All theaters are going digital eventually as film continues to fade away.

Actually I'm IT for the Movie industry at least my industry didn't outsource!
it wasn't that they didn't purchase the rights, it was the distribution company screwed up and failed to distribute properly.

Do you really expect a studio to ship a theatrical resolution first run movie unencrypted? I have this bridge in Brooklyn for sale...

No it isn't you insensitive clod I make my living from those films thank you very much.
Who actually cares? I would have thought that it was obvious and didn't need stating!
whooooosh!
Actually there are modifications to them that make them fit for aircraft use. They are as reliable in the air as any engine with moving parts.
Wrong, anyone can not fix it. Any one MAY fix it.
Only the tech savvy programmer types that care enough to fix can fix it.
Hey malware creators just got wise to the fact that Geeks make more money than the average Joe?

If it were global it would have made a great way to cut and paste but obviously since that wasn't possible via standard APIs I doubt it was global.

Yeah but if you only use an antenna it's free.
