But why would anyone care about this?
If one person can rip a DVD or bluray and put it on Piratebay for others in an hour or two, then there's a perfectly acceptable free alternative.
Weeks of work for specialists really sounds over the top, as I doubt that anyone can tell the difference between a competent pirate version and a specially produced Netflix copy.
It's pretty obvious that the main thing prohibiting streaming / download releases are licensing and other legal requirements.
- anigbrowl 12y agoBut why would anyone care about this? Because if it isn't done properly it won't play back properly, and when something doesn't play back properly the blame usually falls on the distributor, whether they're a broadcaster, streaming provider, or DVD wholesaler. The only reason the 'competent pirate version' can exist is because someone else laid the groundwork for it. Weeks of work for specialists really sounds over the top That attitude is why first time producers almost invariably run out of money in post-production. Every film is different and has to be QC'ed individually, and if there are problems they'll have to be addressed individually. Broadcast and streaming standards are pretty stringent and if something doesn't pass then no payments are made.
