I don't know if that's true or not, but certainly this release didn't filter down through the usual route.
There are also persisting rumors that the print was leaked on purpose to snare peer-to-peer networks and their users. I wouldn't put it past Sheriff Murdoch.
Yeah, using the FBI to police a freakin' movie is what you get when you allow two or three companies to control the vast majority of all communications media. We're talking about companies that double-dip consumers by not only charging for dvds and ticket prices, but many of these companies are running or aiming to run the very high-speed internet services with which people download movies.
If the people who are downloading these films can chip away or force change upon the dysfunctional state of mass media/entertainment ... so be it. The companies aren't the "good guys." It's not going to be me doing the chipping in this manner ... but if the FBI is dragged into such frivolous matters, then the current media system definitely needs to be re-worked.
