Leaks don't come from magical flying elves. They should check their own people before going after someone who posts an image on the interwebs. Once it's out there, it's not going away, no matter how much they want it to.

I imagine that's exactly what they might be hoping for here. Getting the IP address and name of the original uploader might (if they're fairly lucky) show them an internal leaker.

They don't have that option when it comes to leak sources like Tmz, who essentially specialize in nothing but getting/protecting sources, and leaking things. But if they believe an imageshack upload is the original source of a leak, and imageshack will cave and give them an IP that could belong to one of their employees, I can see why they'd go for it.

Meanwhile, Sexy Darth Vader crowdsourcing remains uninterrupted. :/
