Streaming?
What is it about film makers, tv stations etc that don't get streaming or pay to download? They whinge about losing profits because of the torrent sites, but its just people voting with their feet. They want it now & when its convenient to them.
There is virtually no chance of getting this film to a cinema near me & besides, I dont have the time. But I would pay $5-$10 to stream it , or download it into my house and could be watching it today.
