Going to court and being clearly guilty is not a good idea. Get into a trial, be guilty and that the plaintiffs are Nintendo’s lawyers is even worse. However, the world is made of brave (or cheeky). This is the case of GenTV, a small Argentine television that defines itself as “cooperative” and broadcasts daily both on DTT and online, with programming based basically on anime and movies. The problem is that it is not difficult intuit certain details regarding the illegality in the issuance of these titles. In other words: last week they had the stupid courage to put… ‘Super Mario Bros’.
Various disasters
It was on April 16, just nine days after its theatrical release., when the film appeared as if nothing had happened on a block of the Argentine chain. Adding to the ignonymity, the Illumination movie won’t be out on digital until May 9. Come on, a lack of control that is not the first time they have carried out: not so long ago they aired ‘Ant-man and the Wasp: Quantumania’, for example.
Surprisingly, no studio has retaliated (yet) against the cooperative, which also has a radio. It’s more, the chain is dedicated to laughing at the controversy on its social networkswhere, for example, they have published a festive scene from ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ adding “Meanwhile, meeting of the managers at GenTV with their lawyers”. Other movies whose broadcast they have announced on Instagram in recent weeks have been ‘Shazam! The fury of the gods’, ‘Operation Fortune’, ‘Avatar 2’ or ‘Creed III’. very fresh
And frankly in the end it is only possible to laugh at the cheekiness of the channelwhich we can see live from Spain (with Argentine dubbing, yes) and which promises to redouble its efforts to bring a good deal of audiovisual material to which it has no rights of any kind. Genius and figure up the sure demand.
