Film Festivals and the Internet

Are Film Festivals still relevant when a title that they have featured as an exclusive screening can already be obtained from here.

There was a time when if you attended a festival premiere it actually meant something but now with the advent of the internet and all things being digital and therefore equal and duplicable it ain't possible to claim exclusivity anymore.

The only purpose a festival serves now is to use the programme to select what you wish to purchase or download for viewing and then re-sell once you have viewed it right?
