Hive-CM8 vs Hollywood: The Christmas it's usually a time when Hollywood tends to be very high income at the box office. But this year the Hive-CM8s broke them at Christmas. A group of people managed to bypass all security measures and released (to this day because leaks continue daily) incredible movies in very good quality (DVD screeners).
High quality copies released (and promising to be released) are the hottest Hollywood productions!
Hollywood productions first appeared on many private websites before they leaked to the public trackers Pirate Bay and KickassTorrents, where thousands of users began downloading the unexpected Christmas gift.
The first leaks occurred a week ago and the FBI is trying to spot the source of leakage from the watermarks in the movies.
The Hollywood Reporter now reports that the watermark on Tarantino's The Hateful Eight leads to Andrew Kosove, co-CEO oftreatments, and financing of the company Alcon Entertainment.
The screener intended for Kosove is reportedly never reached.
"I have never seen this DVD. I never touched it with my hands. We will do more than work with the FBI. "We will conduct our own investigation to find out what happened," Kosove told the Hollywood Reporter.
Meanwhile Hollywood began issuing thousands requests removal, in the hope that this will prevent the movies from being downloaded.
But who are The Hive and CM8?
Hive-CM8 is a so-called "release group" but does not belong to the scene (The Scene). According to TorrentFreak, very few people are involved, but they managed to ruin the Christmas of a multi-billion dollar industry.
The Hive-CM8 team has released 11 DVD screeners so far, with the latest Specter. However, in .nfo they say there are 40 titles in total, which means we will see something new every day.
So far the leaked screeners are: Spectre, The Hateful Eight, Legend, In The Heart of The Sea, Joy, Steve Jobs, Spotlight, Creed, Concussion, The Danish Girl, Bridge of Spies.
The group says the following will follow:
45 Years, Son of Saul, Love the Coopers, Krampus, The Night Before, Point Break, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip, Burnt, Black Mass, Trumbo, The Last Witch Hunter, Victor Frankenstein, The Big Short, Sisters, Secret in Their Eyes, Daddy's Home.
The fact is that the Hive-CM8 team is targeting the FBI, which seems to be following the latest developments with interest and will try to find out who the pirates are.
