Episodes from upcoming season of 24 leaked on BitTorrent
The season premiere of 24 is still a week away, but the first four episodes have already been leaked to BitTorrent and are available for fans to (illegally) download.
The leak is the work of AsiaTeam, a Spanish language group known to regularly upload TV shows and movies to BitTorrent. Several commenters on mininova are convinced that these are “the real thing” and not fakes. A contact who says she downloaded the torrent just confirmed that it is in fact 100% real.
The originating source of the video seems to be a leaked copy of the 24 season premiere DVD which will go on sale after the season premiere airs in the US, on January 16th.
It is unfortunate that something good that FOX did for fans ends up biting them in the a$$. I can only imagine how many hardcore fans will be downloading these episodes off BitTorrent rather than supporting the show (and the ratings) by watching it live. It will greatly skew the ratings for the season opener, especially since it is still a week to go before those first new episodes air on FOX.
