Thanks for the info. I'm attaching the data specs from the Terminator Genysis Trailer that ANYONE can download from Ultraflix.com.
Sammy2015, what do the specs tell you?
1. You don't need to log in to do this, nor did you to view the full movie.
2. I could not just send anyone the link and share it, because the link code changes and is unique to your session. The link will only open up on the device you got the source code from.
3. That would not prevent however, anyone from downloading the film and burning copies of it or setting up torrents, a popular method of pirating films.
4. I could walk my grandmother through this - it's that easy. Anyone can at anytime view the source code of any web page they are viewing. If you can copy and paste, that's the requisite skill..
5. You can confirm via the source code which company the film is from i.e. Paramount, mgm etc.
I'm not a "tech geek" but you can be sure that kid that tweeted "TIP: check the source code" and the guy who tried to put up the link to share the direct download of the movie that Sleepy shared - they both have nice free copies of Terminator Genysis at home, courtesy of NTEK. And anyone else who figured out what they were doing when the full movie was up.
This was sloppy work. I don't think Paramount would consider this minor or "not a big deal". It's easier than the old school Napster and you never have to log in.
In the end the trailers are all free on YouTube, the security of them on Ultraflix is not an issue in my opinion. Placing the full film on the website in the exact manner of the trailers? Yeah, that was not a smart move. Big time security issue.
