Alamo Drafthouse blames ‘nationwide’ theater outage on Sony projector fail
www.theverge.com
“Due to nation-wide technical difficulties with Sony, we aren’t able to play any titles today.”

From the article:

When we went to our seats, the wait staff let us know that despite the fact that the previews were playing, we wouldn’t know until the movie actually started whether we could see the film or not. If it didn’t work, the screen would just turn black. Luckily, the film went through without a hitch.

    I do know that if our servers lose power in the CMOS battery is dead and then they will internally destroy themselves and never function again. This is to prevent piracy I assume.

    Holy shit, DRM needs to fuck off and die.
