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.
Frank Scherma of the Television Academy of Arts and Sciences says the move will better meet the viewing needs of his company's 25.000 members. Not to mention the benefits 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 2020 vote will, apparently, be the first time that DVDs will not be delivered to members who have right 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 distributing the nominated films through other methods, such as iTunes. It is now clear that Hollywood and the companies holding the intellectual rights are very seriously considering the possibility of using the latest technologys to avoid 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.
