A huge fan of the Hunger Games movies, Esmeralda was quite excited to hear that the trailer for the newest one had been released. Searching on YouTube, she found a video of it - but when she tried to watch it, she saw only a message that it had been taken down due to a copyright claim by Lionsgate. She sat dumbfounded for a moment, wondering why the studio would markotage themselves that way, before finding another video.
