@65 I understand your frunstration in modernizing the distribution of movies…a lot of people in the billion dollar industry would lose their jobs just like when auto plants modernized and started using robots…the same thing…distribution regardless of if it is through bit-torrent, encrypted hard disks or what not, it will come and the whole printing of movies on 35mm film stock at 20-80k per movie will disapear. Yes getting rid of a couple billion dollars in waste productivity…

Years ago, a projectionist made 75-100k per year most with

We are not specifically talking about streaming (even though the artical says they did it) we are talking about distribution through bit-torrent, even if it is encrpted to distribute digital movies (not just from MPAA) to the theatres…it would allow for independent artist to show their wares without the huge printing cost of film stock.

Normally, digital movies are shipped as copies on encrypted harddisks to theatres. That’s cheap, safe and likely even faster than a transfer over the internet. I doubt there’s much of a point in streaming movies to cinemas which play the same movie over and over again.

Well Old Timer, you don’t have to make prints anymore. Distribution to movie theaters is the last part of the chain to go digital. All you have to do is set up a large enough disk array, and receive the data in time for playback. Being digital, there is no wear.

Just have twice or triple the same equipment for redundancy (projectors, disk arrays, playback machines, internet links), and you are gold.
