Just heard, also WD are saying they won't give in to the demands. If that's so I'll gladly torrent this one, even though I've never seen a single one of the franchise before. They whole industry needs to be thought a lesson. They've been insanely greedy and lazy the past decade.

If they spend several hundred million dollars creating something then they should really be rewarded for that. Unfashionable I know. I'm quite surprised the film industry is still holding up as well as it is.

Films like this can't be created out of thin air. If it did go the same way as the music business then all we'd have to watch would be youtube vloggers whining about their makeup issues.

Agreed. GOT for example, I heard spend at least a million per episode, with all the green screen and travelling to various locations for filming (almost all of Dany's outdoor scenes were shot in Morocco). Nothing is ever truly free. Just imagine if every single film would be pirated before release, no one would be making films anymore and we'd be reduced to watching Youtubers pet their cat.
