Family Guy: The Leak Story

The movie studios received one of their biggest blows today with the news that a high quality copy of the Family Guy movie is spreading rapidly around P2P networks, months before its home theater release.

According to the information file published by the release group Angelic Evolution, the movie has been ripped from an ?exclusive DVD premiere.?

The film, based on the TV series ?Family Guy?, is not due for release until late September.

Titled Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story!, the movie follows Stewie, the family?s maniacal baby genius, who sets out on a road trip to find who he believes to be his real father.

The release comes despite the studios successful campaign for increasingly draconian copyright protection laws and high profile arrests, leaving the industry and spectators with the questions as to how much can really be done to stop movie leaks.

If people love the show then they shouldnt download it and show support for the creators by buying it when it comes out, forget that whimpy "im only previewing it before i buy it" crap. Preview it if they release video clips on the website.

If the DVD was down at my local store I'd sure as hell go buy it. But it's difficult to hold off getting a pirate copy of something when it wont be legally available for a few months.

I wont be suprised if the DVD still isn't available on overseas store shelves for a few extra months after the US release.

Here in Australia I'm sick of waiting weeks/months for movies to hit theatres and up to a year for TV shows to broadcast. Want to stop piracy? Get a more efficient legal distribution method.

such a shame... i hate when things like this happen, and SOOO soon too. i mean its not due till late september, and people already have it... comon guys! family guy is like the best show on TV.. by stealing this your only taking money away from the writters.. if i was a writter for this show, i'd be ****ed off and stop writting as punishment.

but just wow...

    • On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously
    • I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.
