Silverbird Cinema Is Showing Pirated Movies?

I went to silverbird to watch a movie?
Guess what? It was a pirated copy.
na wa,why i no go alaba international and get my own copy
I saw people's head in the movie also watching the movie.

I can't/don't believe it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

_{are you sure its not the people in front of you or
perhaps someone in the technical room where they put the
projector-that's what they use in some cinemas right?}

hmmmm

Details are not explicit enuf.

Are u sure you went to the ORIGINAL CINMEA sef cos the one I know is SILVERBIRD not silvabird

I`m not convinced, Silverbird?, no way!!

funny if true. lets just say the 'general' niaja factor has caught up with silverbird

Ha. I dont think so o. Besides i think they  have a special Cd or woteva that they use not the regular Cds that we buy. But Silverbird, , Nah, i dont believe it.

file a claim and get your money back or else they would/can be sued by the international movie board for promoting piracy!
anyway, na naija now, so anything goes!
silverbird knows it would be acceptable because most people dont know thier rights and rights hardly even exist in naija!!

U should have asked for a refund now!!!

I wouldn't have thought silverbird would take that sort of stupid risk. If their actions are discovered by international regulatory bodies against piracy then they'll be in trouble. They are gonna sue their asses to the point whereby they can't even afford star (abi na trust) tissue paper anymore. It would be soo stupid of them to try that sort of thing.
Then again I wasn't there with you in the cinema so I can't say it did not happen.

From the way rugina posted, it just seems a joke

on a serious note, dey wud av 2 b sued!!!

I guess they most of their new movies are DVDripped!!!!

Haba!!! How a whole silverbird dey rip dvd movies!!
Even though itz ripped try 2 get a clear clean divX version!!!

that's d work of p2p!!! File Sharin dudes!!!

Silverbird, nah i dont think so, dont tell me the Nigerian factor has caught up with them,if it is true then that is highly shameful and disgusting, i hope not anyway

The "Nigerian Factor" is a virus that has no known antiviral cure in Nigeria.

i disagree completely wit this post, I ve been a frequent visitor to d cinema for 3yrs now n i ve never for one day saw any pirated movie,
Maybe u were half asleep or somethin n u saw one the movie watchers at d cinema pass by,

Silverbird r world class, Take my word for it,

n wats the title of this movie u went to watch?

come here n tell us now now,

I totally disagree with the "this is naija / naija factor" notion. Silverbird should stick to the standards they set in the

beginning if not, Nu Metro callin. If this claim is true, Oga Ben Bruce should be sent back to NTA as punishment.

@ poster

Yes please give the name of the movie, the day and the time and i guarantee it will get looked into with feedback to all. Without these i will take it you are just another jobless prankster with needless beef who ends up damaging our already dented image all the more. Yes we know this is naija where anything can happen but i tell you not in this case cos it will be the most foolhardy thing for a private concern to indulge in when they have no idea of who the movie goers are. The consequence of such a gambit weighs heavily against whatever minuscle and temp gain they stand to achieve.

Anyways date, name and time, if found to be true, money back guarantee.

the movie in question was hancock,the new will smith movie on the day it premiered last week.some scenes were quite obviously deleted or "CUT" plus  the video quality was dodgy, at 2k a ticket i was a bit dissapointed,

Hi people, Wats the ticket fare for a bluckbuster (newly released) movie?

+ r there such facilities (cinemas) in other cities now? Jos, Calabar n Portharcourt etc in question.

I don't usually comment but this one struck me.I believe people should at least try a little bit of investigation before posting on Nairaland.Let me share a bit with everyone .Silverbird does not use dvds but projectors which uses film rolls.Now i can tell u that the cost of one roll of a movie runs into millions of naira.So how in spacefire can someone say he watched pirated movie in Silverbird

Me i say lie lie
