Infamous Piracy Group Says it’s Ready to Start Leaking DVD Screeners

>The group promised to deliver 40 screeners but the backlash was so severe that the run was eventually limited to ‘just’ 14 titles, a sum still not improved upon. As recently reported, the latter half of 2016 has been extremely quiet on the screener front overall, prompting many public discussions over whether any will actually appear.

>Interestingly, however, Hive-CM8 has just put out a statement which suggests that January might be the month to watch. Alongside a TS (telesync) release of the new Assassins Creed movie, the group notes its absence but expresses eagerness to start leaking screeners again – with some caveats attached. (note: statement edited to fix typos/grammar)

>“Yes, still here and kicking, we had to have a break for some time. Bet you are waiting for screeners, yep why not,” Hive-CM8 begin.

>“We were definitely not in the mood to make the same mistakes as last year with screeners before Christmas or cinema release date.”

>The fact that Hive-CM8 want to tone things down isn’t really a surprise. With last year’s Christmas bonanza still making waves, in late December 2015 the group actually published an apology, noting that releasing movies before their official debut wasn’t acceptable.

>That said, Christmas 2016 is now over, and it appears that Hive-CM8 are ready to get going again.

>“Now that Christmas holidays have passed we are actually looking forward to getting the dice rolling,” they say.

>“We want to get the screeners out safely and securely like every year. Whoever has a screener or knows someone who has one and wants to share privately or in public, just let us know. We are here.”

Is your body ready, Sup Forums?

Jan 1st. It's coming.

>p2pcrap

kek. u prolky use torrents too.

...

...

doing it this way will also keep headhunters from going after them, corps made allowances for piracy when the effects are minimal.

not really

Just leak the fucking things you overly dramatic attention whores.

>corps made allowances for piracy
lmfao

yessssssss

How can people fromt he academy truly appreciate the movies when they are on a inferior medium?

>Get all excited and download all of the Award Screeners as soon as they come out
>End up watching maybe three or four of them at most and then deleting the others months later

Every. Fucking. Year.

Who wants it?

It's about damn time. I can't be expected to drive to Chicago and shell out $20+ for every Oscar bait movie.

they would watch on their phones if they could
Oscars are a fraud

at least you watch some of them, i stopped downloading the screeners because i never watch them
unless is a movie with one of my favorite actors (or maybe director/writer) in it

Do it faggot.

Post your screeners, guys.

the oscars are no fun unless you've seen the films that are being snubbed and the ones being circlejerked

The only one of those I have any real interest in seeing is Nocturnal Animals and there's a rip out already.

Most of them don't even watch. I'm not making this up. Most people who get Academy screeners don't even watch because they already know who they are voting for. People in the business don't actually care about the "art" of films, it's all about politics to them.

Reminder they vote for the quality of cinematography, special effects, set design, and every other visual aspect of the films based on shitty transfers of the films on archaic technology covered in watermarks.

Awards season is a fucking joke.

Give us Silence, please. Everything else can wait on Marty.

I was going to contradict your statement but you're right...

I don't watch the Oscars anymore but I still like to watch the movies that lost.

Where are this years DVD screeners? They are usually out at the beginning of December or even November. There are NONE this year. What happened?

If you got screeners, does that mean you can vote?

Did you even read the OP, faggot?

No, if you're a voter it means you can get screeners.

Don't they give people ipad's full of HD screeners now? Heard Michael Caine talk about it.

Jesus DVDrip is so shit quality, almost a bit above camrip

Ellen got blacklisted from the screeners so we got no source.

Suck my whole ass faggot i aint reading his fucking bible give TLDR

dumbass nigger cant read lol

With scenes missing, good job.

this for fucks sake

...

I haven't downloaded it, so your passive aggressiveness means absolutely nothing to me.

Cool

>Don't they give people ipad's full of HD screeners now?

No. They give you an iTunes code.

damn, how did you get these
how did anyone ITT get that shit
are you all journalists or did you just ask as a literal nobody?

1. They are fake
or
2. They are using the picture from someone else to get (you)s

I get mailed them.

yeah i think it's 2, i've seen this pic a few times already

yeah ok, kid

my bad, i must've seen another pic really similar in one of these threads

so how popular are your reviews mr. critic

why would they mail them to you?

What do you do? What have I seen if your work?

to get...what?

I got a sticky here with my video not long ago

so fucking do it already

show proof it's actually you cuck

KINO SEASON APPROACHING

If always assumed they simply rewatch important scenes on the screeners, after seeing the movies in the cinema.
Or this

fake

>Who wants it?
Nobody

>DVD

not worth my time

i want it

get the fuck out

...

It's a bit late
The only film I have left to see is silence and I'll be damned if I don't watch that in a theater

damn

>AT STs! AT STs!

Wow, posting the same picture we've all seen. Fuck off you embarrassing mongoloid

I'm not interested in a single one of these including rogue one. I'll just go and dl some old shit that I can actually enjoy.

DICKLET MANLET UPLOAD HACKSAW RIDGE AND ARRIVALS ALREADY YOU FUCKING CHODE

He's right though.
Star Wars was the capeshit of it's time.

>whatever I don't like is capeshit cuz all encompassing buzzword

Uneducated faggot, eat a bus.

If "capeshit of it's time" triggers you so much the term "Sonic the Hedgehog of cinematography" fits star wars just as well

>backlash
What?

I don't know user, I usually do a yearly Oscar picks bet with my brother and last year I decided to go all in to really make informed bets and I watche devery single movie that was nominated.

In the end, I don't think it really improved the Oscars for me, all it did was leave me borderline suicidal after the immeasurably boring piles of shit like Carol and 45 Years.

If you are a member of a guild, you get screeners and you're eligible to vote. My coworker was a """producer""" on some indie film once so he qualified to be a member of the Producers Guild and gets them.

Theres a Doctor Stranage screener going around to. Ive only found the back cover.

>Carol
>Boring
Back to your capeshit containment thread

It was pretty boring, though

>capeshit

fuck off

Refn isn't everyone on the academy m8y

It's a shame Jungle Book will win for effects. Strange deserves to win for something.

>Jungle Book will win for effects.

no

so rogue one when?

If not then who?

something lame

hacksaw ridge screener when? come on already.

tfw missed Arrival and Doctor Strange at the movies.

Did they lose all their connections or something?

They mark every one of the dvds so they can identify who uploaded it, not in an obvious way

Therefor it's very hard to find someone willing to upload.

Why would anyone want a dvd rip?

What, if I told you, that it was impossible to digitally mark each screener during awards season? That these screeners are commercially pressed in batches of thousands, or tens of thousands, from a single master disc. That the only distinguishing feature of each disc is a serial number sometimes stamped on the label.

I'd say good for you, you're wrong.

Rogue one I want to see.

Everything else looks like boring oscarbait

Anyone who knows how DVDs are made knows i'm right tho. The data on each disc is identical to one another during this season, because it's the only time of the year in which screeners are pressed en masse, instead of provided on a one by one basis. It's literally impossible to mark discs in such a way to make them not identical. Anything else is FUD.

shit taste

>noting that releasing movies before their official debut wasn’t acceptable.

>Doctor Strange
>For your consideration for non-technical catergories

i could watch arrival, rogue one, hacksaw ridge, and silence

also maybe fences because it looked like good acting

it hurts the industry overall just delaying releases makes it less of a cancerous practice

Sure, but why the fuck should piracy groups care about helping the industry? lmao

There's a compatible codec that adds an unique noise pattern (watermark) based on a hardware part of the cd itself. I've worked on this system.

They can work this out though, they need to obtain two copies and find differences between them to get an average and then remove the watermark based on that.

DVDs? But MUH BLURAY quality.

>Rogue one I want to see.

>Everything else looks like boring oscarbait

Not everything, you stupid capeshitter manchild faggot.

no thanks

They're nice guys or they wouldn't be releasing screeners in the first place
