Okay so for context: I’ve never really downloaded movies right after release, the movies that I’ve downloaded were all released at least few months before the time of download, so I don’t know how movies releases work.

So when a movie is released, how long does it take for there to be a high-quality pirated version of it? I can’t seem to find the movie on an online platform even if I were to pay for it. Are movies exclusive to an actual theater when they first get released? Right now I’m searching for that movie that was just released and all I find is HDCAMs. Does this mean that someone just secretly recorded it in a theater?

Oh btw, the movie I’m talking about is about a scientist that was involved in (at the time) a secret government weapons program during WW2. The movie was released very recently. (Hey, I didn’t mentioned the name of the movie, I hope I’m not breaking the rules 😉)

If the movie is not available on any physical media or online streaming sources yet, the best you’ll find is what’s known as a cam, which is the dude sitting in the theatre in a hoody recording like you see in the warning of what not to do before the movie starts.

A lot of trackers don’t allow them because the quality is so bad, I see them a lot on TL tho. I think they even have some exclusive releasers.

How do people not get caught recording? Wouldn’t someone sitting near them notice?

Sometimes it’s the operator in the projection booth doing the recording, not a visitor in the theater.

Buddy I’m pretty sure people are getting jerked off at the movies, people probably relieved when the person next to them is just recoding with a camera.

If I have to sit still for any amount of time then I’m jerkin’ it
