How can I become a DVD Screener?
Usually those are only sent out to movie critics, etc. You can’t just register online or something, and start getting movies. More than likely their friend is downloading the movies from the internet, from a site like www.thepiratebay.org, and then using a Bit Torrent Client, such as uTorrent, to download them. Anyway, I don’t believe companies, like Universal, etc, would send these movies out to the general public, as they already have enough problems with pirated DVDs. You will mostly see DVD Screens around oscar season, as they are released for film critics, and voters to watch. Kind of like it’s a promotional DVD as well. Movie stores might also receive screeners, and I think they are able to play them throughout the day on their TVs in the store, to help promote the movie.
