From their IRC channel -

[11:29pm]«@ [Bleach]» Ok this is the deal people listen closely

[11:30pm]«@ [Bleach]» This whole ordeal started with a STOLEN workprint form lucas films
[11:30pm]«@ [Bleach]» This promted a FEDERAL investigation on that particular release
[11:30pm]«@ [Bleach]» Now MPAA could not touch ET (civily) but because a CRIMINAL
[11:30pm]«@ [Bleach]» CASE was issued that now changes the RULES
[11:31pm]«@ [Bleach]» lucas wanted someones head on a platter
[11:31pm]«@ [Bleach]» Said it cost the film Big dollars making it a felony
[11:31pm]«@ [Bleach]» Said it was taken over seas to foreign countries
[11:31pm]«@ [Bleach]» thus bringing in ICE
[11:32pm]«@ [Bleach]» NOW someone from ET leaked to the WRONG people that ET had this release up
[11:32pm]«@ [Bleach]» 6 hours prior to its first showin
[11:32pm]«@ [Bleach]» And that it was DL 10k times
[11:32pm]«@ [Bleach]» This focused the CRIMINAL case on to ET
[11:33pm]«@ [Bleach]» (thinking it was probably someone here) BUT NO IT WAS NOT ANYONE FROM ET WHO STOLE THE MOVIE
[11:33pm]«@ [Bleach]» FBI shuts ET down issue warrants for admins PC
[11:33pm]«@ [Bleach]» NOT ALL WARRANTS WERE ET STAFF
[11:33pm]«@ [Bleach]» TWO admins were raided and ONLY their PC was taken
[11:33pm]«@ [Bleach]» NO arrest have been made
[11:33pm]«@ [Bleach]» No other details have been leaked
[11:34pm]«@ [Bleach]» Right now there is still a CRIMINAL case going on with the SW3 WORKPRINT RELEASE
[11:34pm]«@ [Bleach]» Those who DL may have something to worry about
[11:34pm]«@ [Bleach]» BUT for now only those who made it AVAILABLE has to worry about it
[11:35pm]«@ [Bleach]» NOw I DO NOT
[11:35pm]«@ [Bleach]» KNOW what is to become of the logs with the star wars DL
[11:36pm]«@ [Bleach]» I DONT KNOW what Kryl0n is doing
[11:36pm]«@ [Bleach]» or gone to
[11:36pm]«@ [Bleach]» This came from a MOD who called to update someone on what happened to the 2 admins
[11:36pm]«@ [Bleach]» That is it for now

Hmmm... How many torrent sites are there? How many P2P programs are there? All of these have the Star Wars movie on them, how many times has it been downloaded between all of them? I bet many more than it was from just Elite Torrent. Probably Ten-Fold.

Why ET would keep logs is anybody's guess.

No verifieds site should be doing that

[RealitY]

Why ET would keep logs is anybody's guess.

Maybe for the stats although I dont think theres a whole lot that they can do with it as its just the name of some file attached to you although if you were on the tracker at time that could be an issue although I think theyre primarily looking at the releasors perhaps...

[abu_has_the_power]

this is so fucking gay! all this shit for a shitty release? the workprint might have been released before the movie, but it's still a shitty release. so much turmoil over a shitty unviewable release. wtf


whoever did this fucked with the wrong guy. hell, lucas can maneuver the entire mpaa. he's rich, and he's got connections with all the big names in hollywood. sigh
