Oh - sorry, I misunderstood the question. And, honestly, I thought I might have missed something. All the release dates are still “This information is subject to change”, and sometimes that stuff changes fast.
Uhm … all I can say is that if I see that someone uploads something from the movie today I’ll report it for Rule #1.
Beyond that, if LionsGate or AllSpark came out with an official announcement that it’s ok to upload images of their movie to fan sites, that would be really nice, but I’m not really expecting that to happen.
And, personally, I think a better “It’s ok to host images from the movie now” date would be when the movie airs on Discovery Family or something like that - being available on DVD or iTunes is still pretty “We’re expecting to make money from this” territory, so I will be looking to the admins for guidance as to whether we’re supposed to change the Rule #1 policy toward the movie, and the 19th will be an interesting day. Right now, all things being equal, I would presume that we would continue to enforce the Rule #1 until the movie primers on Netflix or Discovery Family or something like that.
And, again - all of this is speculation on my part. If LionsGate’s or AllSpark’s stable of lawyers sends a “We’re shutting you down” letter to the site, then that might change things, and it might not.
Right now the best answer might be “Until one of the admins says something publicly and officially, don’t make assumptions and we’ll wait and see what happens.”
And if the movie is on Netflix I’ll be super surprised if we’re still deleting images from it. But
until then I won’t be surprised if things don’t change.
