How do illegal streaming sites to watch movies and TV shows have movies on their site that are just released into theaters in such good quality? I’m not talking about shaky, filmed in the theater with a video camera, these movies are perfect. How do they do this? Where do these copies come from so soon after the movie is released into theaters and how do these illegal streaming sites get ahold of them?

A great-aunt by marriage used to have a seat on the Academy and would receive screener DVDs months before the movies would come out so she could evaluate them for various criteria. Often, she’d never watch them and mail them to our (ex-wife and mine) house and we would enjoy them with our friends and nearby family members. We watched several Spiderman, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. months before they came out in theaters. These copies were digitally watermarked with a member-unique code, so that if the movie was leaked online and discovered, the leak would instantly be known.
