The easy access to free streaming films with few (if any) consequences remains a threat to the livelihood of filmmakers everywhere, particularly independent filmmakers. Panelists will discuss the issue of piracy, particularly as it applies to filmmakers in the Southeast Asia region, as well as potential preventative measures.
