Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets Leaked

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the gotta-hate-when-that-happens dept.

huh12312 writes "Illegal piraters have done it again. On Monday, the second movie in the acclaimed series of seven was leaked onto the internet to the horror of Warner Brothers. With so many blockbusters due out this holiday season this problem will only increase in the coming months." Also note that it will make millions and millions of dollars anyway. I'll probably be there opening night.

    Actually
    Telesyncs were distributed long before Napster came about .. and before that they were fserved in irc rooms.

    p2p is just another tool .. that prevents people from hacking fast network connects to distribute big stuff.

    The exact same thing happened with Shrek last year..most pirated film - most pirated DVD - best selling DVD.
    That doesn't mean sales wouldn't be better without piracy. If 20 million buy the DVD and 20 million download it, then there are 40 million interested viewers. If piracy were not feasible, then they could sell 40 million DVDs.
