Author Topic: ETS Security Sticker on used 35mm Kung Fu Panda print Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 06-16-2011 10:39 PM                        The used print of Kung Fu Panda we received today had security stickers securing the reels. These are the type of stickers that when you peel them off, they leave behind words to indicate the seal has been broken. Although it was relatively easy to clean off, I find it annoying they would purposely use something that would leave a sticky residue on the film.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-16-2011 10:51 PM                     If somebody was going to bootleg that movie, they would have done it a couple of weeks ago when it opened.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-16-2011 11:05 PM                        Those stickers are INSURANCE! The distrib wants to make sure no one will make a bootleg copy of that movie from a USED 35mm film print! Makes no difference that pristine bootlege master BluRay copies have been selling on street corners in New York for $3 a pop, $5 if you are a dumb tourist and don't have any street smarts. That sticker insures that no one will be able to bootleg your print, Justin, and KUNG FU PANDA will be safe from those unscruplous projectionist pirates.  |  IP: Logged
