Peter Jackson Outraged At Leak Of "The Lovely Bones" To BitTorrent

The upcoming January 15th release of the new Peter Jackson film "The Lovely Bones" was highly anticipated by many. Just like all Peter Jackson films, the much respected Hollywood producer had received a large amount of support from critics and film-goers alike for this new movie.

As of a few days ago, the Screener of his popular new film had already hit the bandwidth of millions via the BitTorrent protocol, and thus set off a new wave of controversy surrounding torrents.

"My work is an art form, although I do intend to share this art with the world, I cannot continue to do so at a cost to my own enterprises and investments without any chance of coming up short on production costs..." claimed Peter Jackson.

He stated that although up until how he did not hold a grudge against file sharing, he is heavily disappointed that the leak even happened to begin with. He also stated that "those responsible for the leak will be brought to justice with the maximum prosecution of the law in mind" and that "anyone who is caught illegally downloading the film will also be prosecuted to the fullest", both statements which are sure to lose him a few fans.

This time of the year is known to production companies and those of us in the BitTorrent world, as "Screener Season", where before the Oscars (and other awards ceremonies globally) the pre-release of "Screeners" are sent to various film critics, and award voters to determine if a film is going to be allowed to gain recognition for a nomination.

The only real difference here is that it's a nearly perfect copy, released way ahead of the actual theater date, and that it may hold somewhat of an effect on the sales in the theaters, according to Jackson at least. I doubt though, that it will hold much ground, as some of the most pirated movies on the internet have also went on to become some of the world's most significant financial blockbusters.

In the end, it's the same greed of the Hollywood interests which pre-release these types of screeners for nominee consideration, which inevitably end up as the reason they are leaked onto the net. I suppose then we should be thankful for their greed in this case.

Til January 15th however, sales of the Peter Jackson "tween" film can only be speculated upon, and I do still believe if the movie is worth it's weight, it will be successful. Only time will tell.

You're new here, so I'll let you know first. It's customary to put anything that isn't yours within quotes here at TDC. To do that, just hilight the entire thing and press the button that looks like a yellow talk bubble. I don't think it's worth a warning, and since it's your first time it will be overlooked anyways, but please try to keep it in mind in the future.

[/pretending to be authoritative]

Back on topic though, I think it's unfair to everyone who worked and invested on this film that they don't get the profit they deserve. I would be furious if that happened to me.

That's cool. I tend to ignore critics anyway.

It isn't a warnable offense, especially as he did cite his source, but it would be a good idea to use quotation marks ("") or quote tags (<quote>[/quote], replacing the set of sideway carrots with brackets) to set off material that you didn't originally write.
