I'm so disgusted. This is just wrong, no matter how you try to justify it.

Because how are people supposed to enjoy the movie in that horrible CAM quality? At least wait for the WEB-DL.

TeleSync actually, marginally better.

I've seen the cam release and it is the best cam I've ever seen..I had been away from the high seas for a decade so I was impressed when I downloaded this movie for my daughter.. Who had gone to the movies to watch it but wanted to watch again

With all likelihood; it would have been 3 to 5 whole years before anyone could have purchased a localized, legitimate copy of the movie in Lat.Am.

So no; I do not blame them for doing this. Considering that this movie was even broadcast as a "Public Screening" and likely nobody paid anything in admission but for food and drink...I'd even argue this was a 100% non-commercial use. Depending on the laws in Brazil it might even be "fair use" for a city official to do this; as informational and educational arguments can be made for it depending on the audience.

I mean, given the lack of theatres in the country, and the fact the movie won't be released outside of theatres for a while, this is really just a famous case of piracy being an availability issue.

This made me laugh. Anyone who has lived in central or south america sees this type of thing happen all the time.
