I wonder, is it even possible to truly delete a movie? I am surprised Batgirl didn't leak. How do you even prevent that? It's just bits.

It's just bits.
- voltaireodactyl 3y agoThe short version is that almost everyone with enough access to make a local copy of the movie is financially and/idealistically incentivized enough by future opportunity within the industry not to risk it. For everyone else, there’s law enforcement supported by unlimited budget for prosecution from the industry.
- mixmastamyk 3y agoMost studios moved to a high security environment a while back. Only Covid reopened things a bit, and not sure how long.
- fl7305 3y ago> How do you even prevent that? Keep the working copies on computers in a special lab with no external network access. Restrict access and physically search the people leaving the lab. Not fool proof, but it will reduce leaks by a lot. But yeah, once you send out thousands of review copies, there's no stopping the leaks.
- chx 3y agoBut usually a movie is worked on by multiple VFX companies and whatnot.
- fbdab103 3y agoI would be shocked if copies shared with third parties did not contain obvious and hidden fingerprint watermarks through the film. If the leak can be traced back to a particular studio, they are going to be black balled forever.
