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...

    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
    • I wonder what that line really meant...
