Eli5: How a movie can be pirated when it’s streaming but not when it’s on cinemas?

475 views

Take black widow for example, it was streaming on Disney plus so a lot of people could pirated it. Then there is Evangelion 3.0+ 1.0 it’s on cinemas in Japan right now but nobody can pirate the movie. Why is that?

1) It’s a heck of a lot easier to copy something from a streaming service because of screen and audio recording software. If something isn’t on a streaming service, then either someone has to lean a copy from the studio that made the movie (they risk losing their job over this, if not worse), or someone has to go and actually record the movie with a video camera (which is lower quality).

2) There’s probably less demand for Evangelion 3.0+ compared to Black Widow. Especially so if it’s only available in Japanese.
