Maybe Drafthouse tried and failed? We all know Bill isn't the most stable guy in the world, so I'm not necessarily going to believe everything he's been spouting either. I do remember at one point that Drafthouse was advertising a screening of The Vistor 'in conjunction with Code Red Entertainment', so clearly there was an attempt at one point to appease both sides.

Again, based upon prior behavior and quotes, I'm not inclined to automatically take Bill's side/asserted legal position here, but in any case, give me this 'bully' - a competent and professional organization who actually keep their word and follow through on teased/announced releases on a modern, superior format that is available through multiple online channels- over the ongoing madness that is Code Red Entertainment.

Basically, if you're unable/unwilling to release anything, work out a deal with those who are active distribution companies and/or get out of the business.
