Does pirating movies that are only in cinemas have a different result to when they are released on disk/streaming services (lemmy.world)

Sorry for the swabbie question, but I tried to find a film (Saw X in particular) on quite a few different sites and all torrents/streams/downloads had baked in ads for online casinos and the like. Is this just a feature of piracy, or does something change when the film leaves the cinema? I'm not asking for links, so don't invoke rule 3. Stay safe me hearties 💰☠️

It’s rare to get a high quality pirate copy until the movie is released on disc or streaming services. Once that happens, you’ll get perfect copies. Until then, it’s probably a “CAM” version which means somebody filming it in the cinema. The betting/casino ads are common with those these days.

Or TELESYNC. Filming with a camera in cinema, but the audio is from the original source (jack plugged in or something)
