A warning because it represents a broken economic model. Filmmakers deserve payment. The 4K remastering process costs tens of thousands of dollars. When you download a YTS rip, you are denying Paramount that return, potentially making them less likely to remaster niche 80s dramas. Always support films through legal channels
If you find a file matching that keyword on a torrent site, ask yourself: Do I want to watch Footloose, or do I want to own an artifact of digital Robin Hood culture? The 1984 Footloose is a masterpiece of joyous rebellion. Kevin Bacon’s performance is energetic. The soundtrack is immortal. And a proper 4K, 10-bit, 5.1 presentation of that film—from a real BluRay—is a stunning home theater experience. The 4K remastering process costs tens of thousands
