Possible Reasons for Tighter Worldwide Release of AOTC

Time magazine has an interesting interview with a website that broadcasts movies on the web, which could explain why Attack of the Clones has a tighter release window around the world. The site "buys, borrows & rents" DVDs and converts them into files which can be loaded onto the site's servers. When asked whether the site is "pirating movies", they responded:
"We have spent three months studying the law in Taiwan, talking to all the authorities we can get," says Tan. "According to the law, if a movie is not released in Taiwan within 30 days of its release elsewhere, it is no longer protected by Taiwan's copyright law."

Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
