Not surprised.

But since I'm not a newbie or someone who got his LW from a scam site (so believing the lying bogus adverts), I don't expect brand new block busters to be on the P2P network.

I wonder, could it be the revenge of the motion picture industry? This could be an effort to deter bootlegging of movies, even though the majority of bootlegs seem to be created by leaks or theft of studio versions and enterprising people with camcorders. Here in Atlanta, bootlegs are very prevalent...
