They'll probably come up with some technology which will make their films unviewable on the Internet, or the distributors may even absorb search engines--a Time/Warner/Google mega-corporation seems likely soon...

Studios tried hard to add copy protection features to DVD's and CD's but crooks always found the key. Their decision to go after the users has been bearing more fruit. 

The only defense that internet providers have is to be able to show that they actively shut down illegal streaming whenever they saw evidence of it and did nothing to facilitate it. 

That's why companies like chess.com have to close any links to Pawn Sacrifice (or other valuable copyrighted material) and kick out those who continue to post those links after warnings.

They may legitimately be able to ignore links to old movies because studios don't pursue those as actively since it is harder to claim big damages for movies that aren't earning anything sitting in their vaults. (I don't know for sure.)

Pawn Sacrifice is not a good movie.

The critics generally liked it.

I work with a Librarian at an Old Fart center once a week and she got to see Pawn Sacrifice at a Pre-screening where she gives her input before it is released. She knows nothing about chess but she said it was a great movie.

I have never seen it because it wasn't in the theaters here.

I just recently saw the movie (Pawn Sacrifice), and I actually liked it. In one scene they talked about Paul Morphy, comparing him to Bobby Fischer. I got to thinking that the funny thing is Tobey Maguire (Bobby Fischer) looks so much more like Paul Morphy then he did as Bobby Fischer. It would be really nice if someday they would actually make a movie about Paul Morphy.🏁
