First European Film Distributor Adopts Cinea Antipiracy Solutions; Redbus Film Distribution to Use Latest Cinea Antipiracy Solutions for DVD BAFTA Screeners
Redbus, one of the first UK film distributors to take a strongstand against movie piracy, joins high-profile studios such as theWalt Disney Company in using the Cinea S-VIEW solution. Redbusidentified two 2005 movies -- Good Night, and Good Luck and A Cock andBull Story -- to distribute to the 4,500 BAFTA members usingCinea-encrypted discs. BAFTA members previously received Cinea S-VIEWDVD players that will play the encrypted discs, as well asnon-encrypted DVDs, and only need to make a phone call to registertheir players.
Good Night, and Good Luck, directed by George Clooney, is thestory of Edward R. Murrow, a pioneer in television news with a desireto report facts and expose the lies perpetrated during the SenatorMcCarthy era in the US. A Cock and Bull Story, directed by MichaelWinterbottom and starring Steve Coogan, is a comic adaptation ofLaurence Sterne's literary masterpiece -- The Life and Opinions ofTristram Shandy, Gentleman -- and the hapless efforts of contemporaryfilmmakers in translating it into film.
"Redbus welcomes the initiative of Cinea and recognizes Cinea'simportant role in protecting movies and in fighting piracy," commentedChristopher Bailey, Managing Director, Redbus Film Distribution. "Itis a priority to us that we employ the best available solutions inorder to protect our content-rich assets, while giving us theflexibility to reach the BAFTA community during this awards season.Cinea gives us that capability."
"We are delighted that Redbus has adopted our technologies in itsongoing commitment to combat piracy," said Laurence Roth, VicePresident, Cinea. "We are committed to helping the entertainmentindustry by providing a solution for protecting high-value content. Wedesigned the players to incorporate the ease of use necessary for eventhe most nontechnical person. Screener recipients only need to make aquick call and register -- it's that simple."
Cinea's solution includes the S-VIEW DVD player and encryptiontechnology to safeguard content. The S-VIEW DVD player offershigh-quality picture and sound. Discs encrypted by Cinea, if lost orstolen, cannot be viewed on any standard DVD player or computer. Onlyauthorized Cinea S-VIEW DVD players can play specific encrypted DVDs.In addition, the S-VIEW player plays standard DVDs.
