Often one speaks (maybe too much) about repression, Warner is now trying a radically different approach to try to stop hacking in South Korea. The Major will henceforth propose their films with legal downloading even before their release in DVDs. They thus hope to attract people, who prefer not to spend their time unearthing these films on the Web, to no longer await their official provision.
This proactive step rather than repressive is interesting and raises many questions.
