Ahead of its Netflix premiere this Friday, “Army of Thieves” is already making waves among pirates, with a high-quality copy appearing on pirate sites in the past few hours. This pre-release leak comes hot on the heels of similar leaks for other highly anticipated films, including “Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin,” “Apex,” and “Lamb.” While millions will watch these films legally on Netflix, the availability of pirated copies underscores the ongoing challenges of piracy in the digital age.
It’s unfortunate to see “Army of Thieves” leak online just days before its official Netflix release. Despite efforts to make movies readily available on streaming services and reduce piracy, leaks like this highlight the ongoing challenges faced by the industry. The leaked copies, available in high-quality formats like WEBRip and WEB-DL, are a reminder of the persistent presence of piracy in the digital landscape.
It’s remarkable how quickly multiple leaks can occur, with several highly anticipated movies making their way to torrent and streaming sites ahead of their official release dates. Notably, the leaks include high-quality copies of films like “Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin,” “Lamb,” and “Apex,” showcasing the breadth of content affected.
These leaks have been attributed to the P2P release group EVO, which has a history of distributing unauthorized copies of films. Despite the controversies surrounding these leaks, the impact may vary depending on the distribution model of each film. For instance, Netflix releases like “Army of Thieves” may not face significant disruption, given the platform’s large subscriber base and absence of a theatrical window. However, Netflix’s efforts to combat piracy could still come into play in response to these leaks.
