x5315 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Has anyone else heard about this? http://torrentfreak.com/24-season-6-leaked-on-bittorrent/ That's not a link to the torrent, i don't think. It's just an article about it. I also don't condone the downloading of episodes. x5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Even though my colleague at TorrentFreak tells me it is completely normal in the world of BitTorrent for TV shows to be leaked' date=' I am amazed that something like this could happen.[/quote'] I'd be surprised if it hadn't leaked onto BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I don't know why, but I've never got into 24. Anyway, what's the deal with the "Premiere DVD"? It's like they were asking for something like this to happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slug Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I think Prison Break got leaked entirely by accident, it happened 2-3 times but the episodes were timecoded and had lots of missing shots with various slides or mockups inserted. Otherwise, this sounds like when they leaked Dr who, its just a rather upfront form of viral marketing. I do not condone the harming of kittens.

[MM] Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I shudder when I read stories like that. This is exactly the type of thing that gets Torrents and it's community in so much trouble. Remember what happened after Star Wars 3 got leaked ? Yeah , it was used as an excuse to rush through yet more totalitarian laws through the US political system. Laws invented to protect rich US business interests and enforced the world over , even in countries that never ratified the laws - not even passed by their own governments. IMHO - there's a right way and a wrong way to go about these things - and leaking shows early is the WRONG way... [MM] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x5315 Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 yeh, loads of things have been leaked recently. Doctor Who was. It does give Bittorrent a bad name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
