I’d be very surprised if it came from DHX. Only a certain number of people have access to it over there and they’re all pros; this isn’t an asset that’s floats around the floor.

Need to do more research. Stay tuned

So do we believe it came from DHX? Can we track?

It was a current cut that DHX sent in early august. The only clean version we sent out was for the Facebook live project; Lionsgate was involved.

Already on it. Thanks Steve.

Yes, the frame grab is from one of the pirated streams. Provided by Hasbro IP security team.

Thanks Jeff.  We should put together a list of vendors that we provided a clean version to.  Is the screen grab from one of the pirated streams?  The good news is that LG cyber security team has been able to get a majority of the posts
taken down and it looks like the number of streams has been fairly limited.   Best sjd

This is so disheartening. We’re so close to the finish line…

It’s possible that this came from Hasbro, but not likely. We really limited access to clean versions of the feature. Post production vendors only, and that was on a must have
basis only. Everything else went out via MediaSilo with SafeStream watermark feature applied. The watermark is user specific and embedded so you can’t rip a clean version.

The watermark on lower right in the images I was provided (attached) might be a giveaway. I don’t remember distributing a screener with that watermark but I’m going to triple
check just to be sure. I’ll research further and let you know what I find.

Thanks,

Steve,

I am aware that this has happened.
According to Webwatch, it does not appear that this is a classic "work print" (unfinished version) but more of an unknown digital version.  Web watch has been tasked to issue a report ASAP and
then do Civolution testing which would tell us if it came from a particular digital line of distribution.  Absence of a mark would indicate either taken from a post-production facility or perhaps it came from Hasbro.  I am in the process of figuring out what
has happened and what to do about it. I will keep you informed as this issue develops.  LJ

Adding the larger group.

Jane Sunderland (copied here) is running piracy point for Lionsgate.

Jane: Hasbro has advised that the movie is online and they are downloading a copy to review.

Calling you now.

This is what we got from our Anti Piracy agency:

Trying to find out if the movie was ever online (or just a fishing scam that we get with all of our films).

I’ll let you know what we find out.
