I speak for many when I say, real life practical "how to protect your content" is what the industry needs the most, and it needs to be available to the masses. They need real solutions more than a panel of experts discussing how and who they can sue. That very "how to" info may have been provided at this retreat, I was not there, I'm simply speaking from a realistic point of view. If it wasn't, it should be the main topic of discussion at the next retreat.
Which leads me to another issue, even since the first retreat, why is this so secret? The industries enemies were already there in attendance, so why not stream this event or put the videos (or notes) online for those who could honestly need some info, if it was so valuable? Important information like this should not be kept for just a handful of people with large libraries or the ability to come to a show. Of course, that is if anyone is actually concerned with honestly helping the industry and not trying to make a buck somewhere. Put that shit online, let the information flow. BRING THE RETREAT TO THE MASSES!!!
Thanks to Robbie and Borked (Andy), I've locked my streams down and am never looking back, as the amount of new scenes of mine floating around online is next to nothing. Now we're just cleaning up old content and the literal handful who slipped by with screen recorders, but we're working on a solution for that too.

It's not that expensive of a fight if you know what to fight for and it's relevant to your size if done correctly, like all lawsuits.
It's not all about legal action either, and you can't DRM DVD's in Stores... Lots of other players to think about in our Industry too. And the CPR also covers what to do now that it is happing to you, solutions to clean it up, prevent it, ect.
The information is well rounded and comes from a range of experienced people - exactly what it takes to actually learn at this level of business.
Why would they make it public? Why in the world would you want to teach the pirates the secrets of how they get found, how and what it takes to sue them, and all that crap? Truly think about what you would be showing them - it would be pure crazy to make this information public.
This isn't grade school information here...you should come to one, I guarantee you and Robbie that you'll learn more about piracy than you already know.
