Somebody does not like the producer!

I think this guy lost me at "You may be legally right, but not morally or ethically right" line of argument.

In essence, it sounds as though the producer was furious that people were reviewing and sharing a fake copy of the 'film' - which I think is perfectly understandable.

He calls himself 'the customer base', forgetting that customers pay money, so watching bootleg copies of films doesn't make him a customer in any way.

If he does't like Suzanne Nagy's approach (and yes, she seems to have been very heavy handed), he should try sharing and reviewing an unauthorised, unfinished rough edit of a Star Wars or Marvel film and see what happens then!

Katie - I see your point, but this movie's been sitting around unfinished for years for a billion reasons - not least of which is that it was thought to be pretty awful. Nagy should be glad anyone even wants to see it. If she wants to go after people pirating copies, that's fair. They're cutting into her chance to make some money. But threatening to sue anyone and everyone who may have seen it somehow, or read a review online, is overkill.

I think she's afraid the reviews will be so bad they'll turn people off to the movie and she'll miss her chance to score.

I think it's a given that the reviews are going to be bad. I think she just didn't want people reviewing the wrong film (ie: a leaked dummy edit, not an official, final edit).

Katie - Considering how awful the film is generally considered to be, what difference would it make which version anyone saw? Does she really think the "official" version is a good film that will somehow enhance her reputation as a filmmaker? That seems somewhat unrealistic to me, but I could be wrong.
