Yes, you can download it and support them by paying later. I agree.

But... I see no point into publishing the direct stream link. Although it's funny due what the movie is about, I think it creates some disadvantages for them.

I hope they took in mind this and they don't feel threatened by this behavior.

I do: now I can watch the movie on my TV instead of my computer screen. With my current setup, having a naked mp4 file is the only way for me to easily do this.

The stream link will go down at the same time that the movie gets pulled from vimeo.

I know but it doesn't invalidate my point.

No matter how long, more "leechers" are going to abuse the system instead of a few "geeks" with the knowledge.

Sure, if the timespan is short, almost no damages will be taken. Unless it gets distributed through other networks. If they didn't expected this, they may be upset.

Hey, even maybe this was the main purpose, to go viral. Who knows. I just wanted to share how I felt to see the stream link published.

Ah, I actually expected this to happen so I guess I wasn't affected the same way. If you check the pirate bay, you can find every mainstream movie no matter how much DRM there is on it. So it doesn't surprise me that a video posted online got ripped off already. Also, it's been proven in multiple studies that piracy doesn't hurt a project's bottom line, so I hope they're not too worried about that.

Ripping a stream is not hacking.

I did it through FlshGot. This is no science. It's just a rightclick.

This is not some hidden elite treasure you need to hide here.

[im_dario]

I didn't say that. Nevermind.

[aluhut]

You were talking about keeping things to ourselves and "geek" knowledge.

[im_dario]

I didn't say it was hacking. There is a little difference and they are not equal.
