If you’re gonna make what is essentially a fan film then just put it on Youtube for free. Otherwise, come up with your own IP.

Guarantee WB didn’t change its mind. It’s probably being screened under the festival license (which allows you to do stuff like this.)

You realize you lose 99% of your credibility by starting with an EpochTimes article as your primary source?

No evidence was provided by the plaintiffs. None.

I highly doubt the discovery in this case proved the Administration was actively working with companies to remove any content that wasn’t criminal in nature. What this judgement does, essentially, is reinforce the lie that Biden is censoring the free speech of right wingers. This is ammunition for Greene and Boebert.…

Shocker.

To go off your example: imagine that $1,000 computer is incurring residuals and licensing fees on a regular basis, so it’s not just $1,000, but $1,000 plus however much money a week/month for as long as you’re using it. If content is not bringing in commensurate subscribers, then getting $300 back and stopping…

I saw it on twitter, someone mentioned that all movies that get vaulted become public domain.

since Elon took over, Twitter.

This isn’t exactly new ground for Disney. They created tons of relatively cheap TV movies that aired once or twice and then just vanished. Hell, I can’t imagine the number of crappy pilots for never-ran shows that were turned into “movies” and dumped on broadcast to fill out a schedule.

This isn’t always about the tax break. The other thing these companies are doing are packaging these movies in a bundle to license to another streamer. Basically it’s not being new subscribers here, might as well get a check from Pluto TV and get a cut if the ad revenue. 

“It’s a ruthless strategy that betrays just how overrun Hollywood has become by executives more interested in Wall Street than the stuff their companies are making...”

God damn I miss RARBG...

I’m pretty sure they’re also trying to avoid paying the actors and actresses the residuals for their parts.

Disney executive #1: “Here’s this $50 million, straight-to-streaming kids movie about astronauts. It releases on Disney+ in a couple of months.”

They produced at least one slimmed-down model for each of their four consoles preceding the PS5. The original had the PSOne, the PS2 had the Slim, the PS3 had the Slim & Super-Slim, and the PS4 also had a Slim. Or did I misunderstand your point (always a possibility)?

Remember kids. Piracy is WRONG. You should always respect the decisions of a megacorporation. They’re better than you and they’re a better judge of what’s right and wrong. If the corp decides that a movie should never be seen again, you should bow to their supreme wisdom.

As if we needed further proof that US tax codes (especially *corporate* tax codes) was a warped and counterproductive clusterf***. As intended by those who want all the benefits of society but don’t want to pay for any of it, especially not their fair share of the burden their lifestyles puts on society.

The point of a Slim model is the same as it always is, to streamline production and cut costs. No matter when you introduce a revision there’s always going to be that period where they still have old models they need to sell, but you also have to consider the people out there (like myself) who have been holding out…

Not really. Sony’s whole case (and by virtue, the FTC case) is completely dependent on getting a judge to say “Nintendo isn’t a competing console maker”. Without that statement, Sony’s whole case falls apart. At that point, all MS does is point as Nintendo and say “They’re #2 and they haven’t had a Call of Duty since…
