I started documenting stock spam in October 2005, but in November 2005, the quantity of stock spam became so large that I put it on hold. In mid-May 2006 I decided to take it up again on a trial basis, limiting reports to one per day per stock, but I gave up again in mid-June 2006 as the workload was still excessive relative to the importance of the issue. Others continued to do a fine job of it -- see the links at left -- but according to statistics from spamnation, the problem peaked in 2007 and dropped off abruptly in 2008, becoming a mere trickle in 2009/10. I'm leaving this blog online as a historical reference, but I have no further plans to update it, and I've disabled comments because nobody has tried to post anything but spam comments here in a long time.

Red H0t News:

Hollywood Intermediate Expands the Creative Palette for Independent
Filmmakers GLENDALE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 31, 2006 -- Hollywood
Intermediate, Inc. A provider of digital intermediate film mastering
services, announced today that its Matchframe Digital Intermediate
division is currently providing full digital intermediate services for
Super 16MM productions.

Hollywood Intermediate, Inc. (HYWI - News), a provider of digital
intermediate film mastering services, announced that High Definition
preview masters as part of its normal digital intermediate service
offerings and workflow.

"Typically, in current post-production workflow, HD dailies masters
are edited into high quality preview masters including color timing,
dirt removal, opticals and visual effects," said David Waters,
Hollywood Intermediate president. "Unfortunately, none of these
processes translate to the theatrical release of the film as they must
all be duplicated or repeated in either a higher resolution digital
format, or photo chemical process."

Hollywood Intermediate gives Motion Picture producers the ability to
scan their selected original camera negative at 2k or 4k film
resolution, conform a high resolution digital master for theatrical
and broadcast release including dirt removal, opticals and visual
effects, and output a High Definition preview master to be used for
preview screenings and focus groups that can be deployed in any
worldwide theater location.

"The challenge for completing the final editorial decisions on a
motion picture are balanced between the ability to display the highest
resolution picture for a test audience, and the costs and time in
having to re-master your film based on a test audience response," said
Jim Delany, Hollywood Intermediate COO.

"Hollywood Intermediate offers a flexible alternative to traditional
photochemical and video post-production processes for film mastering
and preview screenings eliminating cost and time redundancies," said
Waters. "We expect our HD preview screening master services to provide
crucial workflow efficiencies helping Hollywood Intermediate achieve
market growth in the current digital intermediate and high definition
marketplace."
