Torrents?

The last time I tried pizza, out of politeness a few nights ago, I almost threw up and I don't blame Sidney Potier at all. He's probably lactose intolerant.

Never heard of "screeners" before. Are they full of outtakes, humiliation and other carnage?

screeners are official copies of films
sent to voters of the various groups who present the awards
(i.e - ampas (oscars), hfp (golden globes), sag (screen actors guild), dga (director's guild)... et al)
to promote and disseminate films that otherwise might not be recognized...

years ago, big private screenings at various theaters around socal nyc and nexus locations
were organized to give academy members a chance to see all potential nominees...

with the advent of vcr's, the studios began sending packages
with a tape and generally all kinds of bling to campaign various projects...

it got out of hand... and has been curbed somewhat to big ads on billboards and the trades
and to dvd/br screeners sent to voting members

of course these screeners are supposed to be confidential,
but...
they get passed in the community
so that by awards season,
most in the industry have seen whatever they want to have seen,
for free
and sometimes far before general release...

so these screeners are officially sanctioned non commercial copies of films
for specific personal use

Are you sure about that?

Yeah? Did I stutter?

Edit: Did you not see their whole Hydra/Spartacus analogy? Cut off one server and two more shall rise. How they dream of a day where every file will have mirrors, where Pirate Bay can't be taken down because a different site will stand up going "I'm a pirate bay!" "I'm a pirate bay!"

Here's a list off all the Spartacuses.

I think that they're considering becoming a pay site when they relaunch the main page, tho. So that's annoying.

Well. I learned something today, thank you.
