Author Topic: Revenge of the Sith already available online... Erica Peterson Film Handler Posts: 26 From: Toronto, ON, Canada Registered: Jul 2003 posted 05-19-2005 05:42 PM                        CNN (and other sources) are reporting that copies of "Revenge of the Sith" are already available for download online, via BitTorrent. Article here. Money quote: "According to Web site Waxy.org (http://www.waxy.org/), one print was leaked on Wednesday before the film was even released in theaters. The movie was time-stamped, suggesting it may have come from within the industry rather than from someone who videotaped an advance screening."  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-19-2005 07:14 PM                        You could have at least provided the torrent for us.  |  IP: Logged John Lasher Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Newark, DE Registered: Aug 2001 posted 05-19-2005 09:23 PM                        All presentation! This should make George very happy.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 05-19-2005 11:14 PM                        Gee, if only Fox would have put a 'false name' on the movie canisters (or should I say boxes) this time around instead of Star Wars 3 Revenge of... on it, none of this would happen! (pure sarcasm there, folks)  |  IP: Logged Cam Jones Film Handler Posts: 35 From: Calgary, AB, Canada Registered: Sep 2004 posted 05-20-2005 12:23 AM                     Or a little security man inside the cans This is hardly suprising though. Hey, maybe Cap Code will track these prints har-har-har  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: California, U.S.A.

This rat "leaks" a "perfect digital copy" of a brand new movie to "digital pirates" who then "illegally" post said movie on the internet for download just hours before its "official release". Then, this rat then jumps up and down, screams, yells and waves his arms, shouting "Piracy!! Piracy!!" at the top of his lungs. Shortly thereafter, this rat's theories about how to "prevent" such piracy by providing only digitally encrypted copies over secure networks becomes the default solution to the "piracy problem".  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-20-2005 10:16 AM                        Either that, or day-and-date DVD releases.  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-20-2005 11:11 AM                     quote: Mike Blakesley Either that, or day-and-date DVD releases. Mark Cuban is already working on a project that will do this. - Pathetic [ 05-21-2005, 08:58 PM: Message edited by: Adam Martin ]  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-20-2005 01:21 PM                     You may be onto something there Randy. Sounds fishy. Another way for old Georgey to get his digital format moving along a bit faster.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-20-2005 03:11 PM                     The DVDs are already on the streets here in Manhattan. And are selling for between $5.00 to $10.00 a disc.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-20-2005 05:08 PM                        That's stupid.

I will shit a brick if this ever happens...and I don't count Mark Cuben's destined to fail project either. I'm talking major blockbuster movies...Like SW EP3, Batman Begins, War of the Worlds. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-20-2005 11:51 PM                     I wouldn't put something like this past Lucas for a second. I don't think anything's beneath him at this point. Oh! And, don't forget the plausible deniability thing. It wasn't HIM. It was some underpaid grunt who sneaked into the server room after hours who did it! Of course, that guy will take the fall and Ol' George will be dressed in a Teflon® suit!  |  IP: Logged
