In this this post, I described an
experiment in whether or not Edge of Tomorrow (2014), was available on the Internet in violation of international copyright. It was, but the quality was lousy. How lousy?
I compared what I downloaded to the Youtube trailer at (what they claimed was) 720, 480, 360 and 240. I have no idea what these numbers mean and doubt they correspond to much in the world of real video standards. But the upshot is that the downloaded copy was about the quality of the lowest Youtube setting, roughly 240. That is bad.
What's the matter with the world today? Don't criminals have any pride in their work anymore? This is just another sign of the collapse of Western Civilization.
I am appalled.
The first image below is a screengrab from the trailer on Youtube in 720 mode. The second is from the downloaded video. The subject matter is not identical, but is hopefully close enough to get a sense of how bad the quality is.
This is a disgrace. Cant we educate our criminals to do better than this?
