What are the advantages of digital projection for the consumers?

Digital film is an easier form of film. Once clipped into place it is simply uploaded to a server and is one click away from being projected. Scratches, fluff, smudges etc will not be seen; so a higher quality finish and a lower chance of small blemishes being shown. However the main advantage is that digital film is so much cheaper in the long run. Printing costs are astronomical and with these eliminated budding directors have more of a chance to get their work out there. Another cost saving factor is that it would be cheaper to protect from piracy as the indusrty spends about £3.2 billion trying to tackle it. Going digital means films can be encrypted before hand and therefore be harder to copy.
