coedmagazine.com — Twentieth-Century Fox was the butt of a big prank this April Fool’s Day, when news broke that a copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine was leaked onto the net. Movies get leaked habitually, sure, but the circumstances combined to make it feel like a first: It was a DVD-quality copy. Of a massive, big-budget superhero movie.

Yeah, me too. If I pay for things if I want to or decide that I have plenty of money, otherwise I just steal them. If I steal something and I really like it, I go to the store and buy another one just so everything in the universe balances out... if I can.

Which is why I want to see it. Wolverine in the theaters? I'm not that into comic books (Watchmen is about the only one I've ever read) and wasn't that impressed with the X-Men movies. The theatrical release sounds like a boring pile of mass-produced rubbish to me. But an incomplete pre-post-production copy? That sounds interesting!

Who is digging this? Honestly, irrespective of your stance on piracy, this article is barely coherent.

"To be honest, just like the way Napster actually initially increased music sales b/c people got a taste then wanted the real thing"lol. that never happened. If it had, then music stores would not have folded right and left, Tower Records would not have gone bankrupt, cd sales would not be in the toilet, so forth and so on.Napster opened the door to the idea of "music is free" for alot of people, and alot of people stopped buying. no matter how many tracks iTunes and Amazon sell, that number is completely dwarfed by the amount of music illegally downloaded every minute.and you know it." And as a result, their public image has bombed, and the public image of EVERY SINGLE music company has also bombed, and nobody wants to be responsible for handing them money anymore."no, the average person really does not give two s**ts in the wind about the RIAA and Digg's ongoing "battle" with it. the average person just wants free music, because they have a 60 gig iPod to fill.

The movie was leaked on purpose, it's the only reason that such a high-quality release (without the effects) got out. Fox basically decided to sacrifice X-Men Origins in exchange for the government and MPAA support they'd rally in response.

The Ang Lee version kicks ass. The newest one is so cliche it hurts.
