  10. How is my film protected against piracy?

    If you submit your film to festivals, only the festival employees will have access to your film, since it will only be available on the festival's computers, not in the web. It is only when you agree that your film will form part of the Online Film Catalogue that your film will be open to the limited public of film buyers. In this case, reelport will protect your film by a series of measures against piracy (user management, DRM protection).
