I heard that the Hurt Locker film was on the torrent sites a while ago-- like more than a year before the academy awards-- did they ever figure out who released the copy online? it seems to me that the person that the producers should be going after should be the person on their own staff who decided to release the film-- the crew isn't that big and they should be able to identify who had access to the edit that was released.
Why didn't this producer make all this noise when it happened? why did he/they wait until a year after the fact to make all this noise about this? it seems strange that there is no comment about it being leaked online when it was helping build a following, but when the film doesn't make a 1/4 a billion dollars he gets upset and decides to sue everyone.
I have to wonder if the producer leaked the film to grow a following-- I would assume that it wouldn't have won the academy award without it.
