From a Facebook User

A YouTube account — belonging to one Janssen Agbada, a ‘technical personnel’ of Cinemalaya — had been host to ‘mistakenly’ uploaded videos of full-length, previous entries from the festival since yesterday.

The account, in fest’s resolution, has already been taken down, but had made available online for a whole day Cinemalaya entries from Hannah Espia’s Transit to Lawrence Fajardo’s Posas. It is enough time to stream a handful or download all of the films using video-converting software — an unspeakable damage to the films and their producers.

Writer-director Jerrold Tarog has expressed dismay about the issue, taking it to a public Facebook Group for Filipino cinephiles: “Cinemalaya uploading our films for free is basically them putting our works in the public domain while we’re still alive and trying to make money out of them.” Tarog says he has personally written the organization to take down the uploads, which includes his film Sana Dati. His film is having a DVD release and a handful more screenings within the year. In the comments thread, he adds: “It is a matter of ethics and plain common sense. Anyway, that’s it. I’m done here.”

The people, female viagra 100mg who are much concerned with body size and weight, love this product very much. Both enthusiasts and people working within the industry are enraged, generating finally enough traffic to compel Cinemalaya to publish this apology:

Only half an hour ago we got wind of the fact that Cinemalaya films were uploaded by Janssen Agbada, technical personnel of the Cinemalaya website yesterday. We apologize for this situation which we had no idea of nor were we aware of what or who caused or gave instruction for her to upload the films. Please rest assured we have reached Janssen already and we will make sure her YouTube account will be disabled or shut down to avoid further damage. Again, our apologies for this situation.

Where it is possible that this could all be an ‘incident’ (if so, just the most embarrassingly dumb kind), Cinemalaya has curiously added a ‘Watch Films’ page, which lays out perfectly all the films dating circa 2005, showing clear intent to share the features online.

We are reaching Cinemalaya for further clarification regarding the matter. Right now, we are not given anything at all; not even a gesture of acceptance, if this was, in the first place, their own misdoing.
