Emmy Awards finish the distribution of screeners

The Emmy Awards (Emmy Awards) decided to stop distributing screeners for the voting procedure. Instead, the company will adopt a new streaming service only for members where they can take part in the vote.

Television's Frank Scherma of Arts and Sciences states that this move will cover the visibility needs of his company's 25.000 members. Not to mention the cost, since shipping all those DVDs wasn't cheap at all.

Not to mention that this is not the first time the Emmy Awards have tried to do so and have even worked with Google before using the Chromecast service in the voting process.

So the vote for 2020 will obviously be the first time that DVDs will not be delivered to members who have the right to vote.

But is this just the reason?

The other reason, of course, for switching to streaming services, is to limit piracy. Imagine 25.000 DVDs leaving Hollywood before the official release of the movie…

Here to say that the Oscars have also started to distribute the nominated films through other methods, such as . It is now apparent that Hollywood and copyright holders are very seriously considering using the latest technology to prevent piracy.

This news, which will surely upset the pirates. However, we will have to wait for their answer, only this time, in addition to the "edge" that the screener gives publicly on torrents sites, cryptographers will be needed, who are able to disable encryption of sreaming.
