I think you missed the point there. These are advanced screenings. So when someone steals the movie from there, they're able to make the movie available on the street (for a price) before it's available to the public at large in the theatre or on DVD. There's great value to the initial release, and these theives are taking that value from WB.
WB didn't say they were pulling movies from general wide release in Canada, only the advance screenings.
This will hurt the career pirates, not people who backup their DVD's or download occasionally from bittorrent.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
yes, MPAA, THIS is what's going to stop piracy, I can see Bittorrent crying in the corner right now.
Let's think about this. if you don't let people who PAID for the movie to see it, where are those people going to turn to? hmmmm..
way to PUSH people toward piracy, MPAA
