Saudi airline caught playing pirated copy of movie

It's probably easier for them to just hold digital copies instead of having to worry about swapping discs. That's just what I think, but I don't have any real information about it. Also, as far as I know, Killers doesn't come with a digital copy like some other Blu-Rays do so like the author said, it may have just been easier for them to pirate it than rip and convert it. If that's the case then I wouldn't worry too much about what copy they've used if they've already paid for the license although I'm sure there are some legal ramifications for doing what they did.

Their screens are probably not HDCP compliant; forcing them to use rips...sometimes they just use rips from torrent sites.

I wish we have an airline like that haha
