Bolt_Gundam510 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 by ErnestoSeveral TV shows from the upcoming TV season have leaked to BitTorrent over the past week. Weeds, Chuck, The Sarah Connor Chonicles, Pushing Daisies, Californication, Brotherhood and Dexter, to name a few. It makes you wonder, Is this the work of hardcore pirates or just a new form of promotion by the TV studios?Most shows are rips from preview and review DVDs sent out by the studios to several media outlets and TV editors. Even though there is no hard evidence that these shows are leaked on purpose, the leaks will definitely get the hype going on the Internet. Unofficial, pre-air reviews are already popping up at several places on the Internet.The Sarah Connor Chonicles, Pushing Daisies, Californication, and Chuck are new TV shows that are about to start on their first season. The leak of The Sarah Connor Chonicles, highly anticipated by fans of The Terminator, stands out because this show is scheduled to launch in 2008. All the other leaks will air within the next few months.For Weeds, it’s the second time that episodes have leaked before being aired on TV. Last year, exactly the same thing happened and thousands of people downloaded and watched the first episodes before they aired on TV. TV studios already offer a number of pilot episodes on the iTunes Store for free. Would it be too big a leap to assume they do the same on BitTorrent?Here’s a list of the TV shows that leaked to BitTorrent this week, including the ‘offline’ air date:Weeds: (season 3) scheduled to air on August 13, 2007 Chuck: (season 1) scheduled to air on September 24, 2007 The Sarah Connor Chonicles: (season 1) scheduled to air on early 2008 Pushing Daisies: (season 1) scheduled to air on September 26, 2007 Californication: (season 1) scheduled to air on July 24, 2007 Brotherhood: (season 2) scheduled to air on September 30, 2007 Dexter: (season 2) scheduled to air on July 29, 2007Source: Torrent Freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will Definately get the hype going for both fans of previous programs and the curiosity of viewers of what the new programs are about. Maybe they have decided that if they can't beat them it may be profitable to join them.. lol I love the game!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
