Hive-CM8 vs Hollywood: Τα Χριστούγεννα είναι συνήθως μια εποχή που το Hollywood συνηθίζει να έχει πολύ υψηλά income στο box office. Φέτος όμως οι Hive-CM8 τους χάλασαν τα Χριστούγεννα. Μια team of people managed to bypass all security measures and released (to this day because the 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!
The Hollywood productions first appeared on several private websites before leaking to public trackers pirate bay και KickassTorrents, όπου χιλιάδες χρήστες άρχισαν να κατεβάζουν το απροσδόκητο Χριστουγεννιάτικο δώρο.
The first leaks occurred a week ago and the FBI is trying to spot the source of leakage from the watermarks in the movies.
Το Hollywood Reporter αναφέρει τώρα ότι to υδατογράφημα που υπήρχε στην ταινία The Hateful Eight του Tarantino, οδηγεί στον Andrew Kosove, συν-διευθύνων σύμβουλο παραγωγής, και χρηματοδότησης της εταιρείας 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?
Οι Hive-CM8 είναι ένα λεγόμενο “release group” αλλά δεν ανήκει στη σκηνή (The Scene). Σύμφωνα με το TorrentFreak εμπλέκονται πολύ λίγοι άνθρωποι, που κατάφεραν όμως να χαλάσουν τα Χριστούγεννα μιας βιομηχανίας δισεκατομμυρίων δολαρίων.
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.
