December 9, 2013 at 03:22Quod licet Jovi non licet bovi, or Mosfilm decided to sue Rutor.org
Today on most news portals you can read that
For me, the choice of these films is completely incomprehensible, to be honest. Especially considering the fact that at the office. Mosfilm channel on youtube all these films seem to be laid out.
Why did I write “sort of like”? The reason is simple: instead of watching a movie on YouTube, you can enjoy the repeated commercial for an hour and a half. And a message of this content:
So the news about More than 200 paintings of the Mosfilm Film Concern on YouTube is already somewhat untrue.
By the way, people actively complained in the discussion of this very news about the unprecedented generosity of Mosfilm: either the second part of the picture was not present, then the English subtitles were not turned off. In general, they don’t have a tick. Since 2011, the number of films has not increased. The mosfilm channel currently has 324 videos in the video section. But almost half of them are songs from the movies. In "HD quality" only 5 pictures! The rest is 480 rubles. Some of the paintings so far can only be seen with English subtitles, for example Irony of Fate, or With a light steam . In short, this is trash and waste, and not the promised access to full-length films in high quality ...
The funniest thing I saw on the page of that same "branded" online cinema, where "Mosfilm" invites usernames - instead of these your trackers:
Such a picture was pleasing to the eye and amused my heart no more than 3 minutes ago when I tried to watch the movie “Caucasian Captive, or Shurik's New Adventures” on cinema.mosfilm.ru, because of which (among others) “Mosfilm” decided to sue with Rutor:
In fairness, it should be noted that by clicking on the "Watch on YouTube" link, you can really watch the movie.
I would like to write more about this online cinema.
On the movie theater site from Mosfilm you can really watch movies online (the video is picked up from youtube). I don’t know why the site liked my fox so much that he said that Mosfilm blocked the viewing of the film in its own online cinema. Fortunately, the video is still playing in another browser. But we understand that the picture during online viewing loses in quality, can slow down, etc., so that the viewer risks not experiencing the emotions that the creators of the picture were counting on. Therefore, I tried to download the "Caucasian Captive." Since I do not use either Google Play or the AppStore, I decided to just click on the “download” button.
But it turned out that just downloading, as in the root, will not work: you must first register. Only with the aim of accepting the ridiculous "conditions for using the site . " There, a curious user risks reading the following, for example (sorry for caps, so in the original).
In short, everything takes place: from criminal prosecution to banning the removal of sponsorship banners. Just great!
In addition, it turned out that it would be more correct to call this button “buy”, since they require you to pay 200 rubles for downloading.
On the FAQ page of the Mosfilm online cinema, another disappointment awaits us:
A separate topic is the very “HD quality”, for which many would have been completely happy to pay both 200 and 500 rubles. It turned out that this is also sad: out of 57 pictures in the section “films with subtitles”, for example, in “HD quality” only 8 are presented. Well, then why do they require money for that?
In short, this is a complete lack of choice and disappointment. Personally, it reminds me most of allreissue of albums in scanty circulation to extend the term of copyright protection. Only in our case, the so-called copyright holders can now cynically poke their nose at cinema.mosfilm.ru - in response to questions about what alternatives torrent tracker users who want to watch good old movies have.
In general, this "branded" cinema seemed to me pointless andmerciless uncomfortable. It’s pointless, because personally I don’t see the point in online viewing from YouTube (why then this fuss, if you can just upload pictures on youtube?). Inconvenient, because:
1) the search there is lousy;
2) information about the films of figs and nefig (at cinema search many times more and more interesting);
3) categories for show: if you limit the film to one single genre, you get something very strange (which, in fact, can be seen on cinema.mosfilm.ru): “Kill the dragon” they have fantasy, and “Stalker” - a drama;
4) some ridiculous collections, such as "Films for the New Year" or "To the Day of Defender of the Fatherland";
5) in "HD quality" there are few paintings;
6) in order to buy an electronic copy of the film, it is necessary to carefully study the Russian legislation, because when you purchase you agree to the indistinct “terms of use of the site”.
But these are trifles. The worst thing for me in this story is the choice of films, because of which Mosfilm decided to put forward a lawsuit against the torrent tracker. These are really masterpieces of Soviet film classics! Why so cruel ?! Especially against the background of ostentatious concern for the audience with the laying out (sort of) of these same films for free (sort of) viewing.
So I want to write to them very loudly, bright red with something: guys, do not deprive the people of his property! I am already silent about the fact that these films were shot with taxpayer money. God be with them, with money. Although I would pay extra to every teenager who watches this “gloomy junk” at the place of the Ministry of Culture (I’m afraid the VKontakte generation perceives popularly adored films of the last century). But this is a cultural heritage .Not an inheritance , but a legacy . Cultural damn it!
All the films due to which Mosfilm decided to put forward a lawsuit are no longer on the tracker. Congratulations, gentlemen, copyright holders. You won. The only question is who exactly, and who will suffer during your victorious war.
It was not enough for the modern Russian film business to flood rental with lousy remakes, such as Gentlemen, good luck! and Man from Kapucinok Boulevard , it is necessary to squeeze the last of the long-suffering film classics.
In “Mosfilm” they triumph - their first appeal to the court in connection with the “anti-piracy” law was satisfied. Now the cinema concern is busy preparing a lawsuit.That wouldn’t be a good movie shooter!
Threat
To finish off those who mastered this sheet (I honestly diluted it with pictures, following the popular requirements), I suggest a survey:
Mosfilm announced the preparation of a lawsuit against the torrent tracker Rutor.org.
This was reported to "Lente.ru" on December 6 in the legal department of Mosfilm. The company accuses Rutor.org of illegally distributing the films “Love and Pigeons”, “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears”, “Ivan Vasilyevich Changes the Profession” and “The Caucasian Captive” on the Internet
For me, the choice of these films is completely incomprehensible, to be honest. Especially considering the fact that at the office. Mosfilm channel on youtube all these films seem to be laid out.
Why did I write “sort of like”? The reason is simple: instead of watching a movie on YouTube, you can enjoy the repeated commercial for an hour and a half. And a message of this content:
The full version of the film is available for free at the Mosfilm online cinema - cinema.mosfilm.ru ...
The film is also available in HD quality (high resolution):
iTunes - soon
Google Movies - play.google.com/store/movies ...
And in applications for mobile devices :
AppStore - itunes.apple.com/en/app ...
Google Apps - play.google.com/store ...

Rightholders are often reproached for not allowing users to watch movies on the web legally. This is not true. We have our own online cinema at cinema.mosfilm.ru, where you can watch movies for free

In addition, it turned out that it would be more correct to call this button “buy”, since they require you to pay 200 rubles for downloading.
On the FAQ page of the Mosfilm online cinema, another disappointment awaits us:
Movies for download are available in the MP4 container. The video is encoded with a high-performance H.264 codec with a bit rate of at least 1800 Kbps, the sound is encoded with an AAC-LC codec with a bitrate of 160 Kbps.That is, films are presented in only one format. And for some reason it is in MP4. Where is the megapopular nesting doll? Where is familiar for many .avi? At least for decency, they planned the appearance of “more other” formats in the future ... And most importantly! Why are they suing because of the distribution of films in any format? Then they would cover only those distributions in which these films were in MP4 format. In my opinion, fair.
A separate topic is the very “HD quality”, for which many would have been completely happy to pay both 200 and 500 rubles. It turned out that this is also sad: out of 57 pictures in the section “films with subtitles”, for example, in “HD quality” only 8 are presented. Well, then why do they require money for that?

“What kind of mother?”At the cost of inhuman efforts I limited myself to this quote. Let them read between the lines, Herods.
