the pre-pre trailer said that the films were 'downloaded from satelites'
now that could be streamed or offlined.  i'd bet the latter, for the
time being.  oh, they also mentioned it was *encrypted*, and that any
anarcho-pinko's caught trying to view it without paying GL money would
have their hands cut off.

personally, i reckon GL's produced it on DVD, and he sends out ninja body
guards to watch over them.
