Some time ago, numbers of high-level copies of producers’ movies were made to present for their fans. However, it is easy for delivering those DVDs to others and it’s not difficult to rip them. In this way, a lot of copies of those great movies are spread away without the permission from the producers, which happens even before they are put into the market for sale.
In order to solve this issue on ripping DVD to MOV on Mac, Fox Searchlight has established a unique function rental codec in company with iTunes to get away the Black Swan and other great ones to their fans, who possess almost one million and all are in Screen Actors Guild recently, corresponding with the LA Times’ report.
It is allowed that these fans to watch the film in a day’s time by the personal code, which is the same as traditional iTunes rentals. While others, such as Paramount Pictures and Focus Features, they do as the personal code did.
According to the winners’ opinion, producing illegally ruins its marketing.
However, there’s no possibility to get rid of iTunes’ DRM and the issue is not produced directly during the process of these fans doing rip job towards the awarded films. In contrast, as the executives and lawyers of the producers said in the report that the process of those DVDs’ uploading is actually done step by step according to the instruction with no the disturbance of personal.
At the same time, the producers warn their consumers through the movies’ cover, which actually tells them not to pass them away or rip Mac DVD to MP4 on HDD even if they ruin them since the spread of it is very normal between friends and relatives. Nowadays, iTunes designed an obstacle for the spread of the films which stops films from passing into those who have the desire to spread them everywhere.
The producers paid a lot for films’ spreading by breaking the law. DVD sales decreased to only $14 billion in last year, which is $5.4 billion less than in 2006. Of course, the record of the films is an important reason for the loss, however, it’s more important that the spreading of those former great films.
So there are some attempts to avoid producing illegally.
Since 2004, the producers tried to spread "SV-300" DVD players with great DRM to their customers. However, it failed because it was too complex to deal with since those fans were not willing to use only one DVD player and convert DVD to AVI for Mac, especially for it was in a winter vacation.
It was reported that two men were accused of breaking the law for spreading widely "Slumdog Millionaire," "Australia," and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in 2008. They both were sentenced as a serious charge.
Agents are already there for Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, which are mainly deal with the selection of airline and ship’ films’. They make copies from safe websites, which aims to avoid the spreading.
It is beneficial for Apple's iTunes to be protected by DRM while web-based steams are not. Once David Kaplan said that he could imagine how terrible, it would be if all the films watched by a computer but not a flat-screen TV. He was then vice president of Warner Bros who was opposed against piracy.
