Avengers Endgame on Reddit: Why it is ILLEGAL to watch Avengers movie on Reddit stream

Avengers Endgame is out in some countries tomorrow, April 24 but fans in the UK have to wait till Thursday, April 25 to see Avengers: Endgame. Some viewers, however, may want to take a shortcut, avoiding the queues and the cinema price tag. Marvel has worked hard to bring fans ten years of storytelling, so seeing Endgame in cinemas is important. 

To watch Avengers: Endgame on Reddit, or anywhere else online is not only highly illegal, but also simply bad form.

Avengers: Endgame may be part of one of the highest grossing movie studios.

However, skipping the cinema is not an option for those wanting to see Endgame sooner as it is illegal. 

Mark Batey, chief executive of trade body the Film Distributors’ Association discussed the ramifications of illegal online streaming with The Guardian in 2014.

Mr Batey said: “There’s a perception that it’s a victimless crime, but it’s not.

“There are just a handful of super successes every year among hundreds of movies that are brought to market.

“And when a film is copied or made available online, it reduces the value of that film around the world.”

Jean Prewiit, a former US lobbyist also said: “The impact of piracy tends to play out differently and arguably more immediately on the independent sector than it does on the studios.”

“The indies are totally dependent on local distributors in all countries to take risk and invest in the making of a film before it is made.”

eOne Films managing director Alex Hamilton added: “The audiovisual industry supports hundreds of thousands of people’s livelihoods and if the industry has trouble supporting itself, it’s going to put people out of work.”

“People aren’t pirating to make themselves better or put food on the table; they are doing it for recreational purposes.

“An individual has to acknowledge that their actions don’t exist in isolation.”

Fans who for whatever reason, whether it accessibility or monetary, can’t attend Avengers: Endgame in the cinemas will have to simply wait, unfortunately.

Endgame will likely come out in the US on Disney+, the new streaming service from Disney.

Elsewhere, the film will likely wind up either on Netflix or Now TV.

Movies like Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy are on Netflix.

However, Avengers: Infinity War, the direct precursor to Endgame, is only available to stream on Now TV.

Gareth Neame, executive producer of Downton Abbey, aptly pointed out scare mongering is not enough to dissuade people from illegal online streaming.

He said: “It’s important that we try to educate people to behave like responsible citizens and to be honest and understand why copyright matters.”
