"........One Bafta member, known only as Ron, told Boing Boing, that
around half the discs he receives are Cinea-encrypted. As a result, he
said, they do not get watched.

'I don't have time to watch all the screeners I get anyway so
naturally I just end up watching the ones that are easy to watch, that
I can watch on my laptop or at a friend's house,' he said. 'I have to
believe that those movies that were sent out in the encrypted format
were viewed FAR less than those that won't.'
