As one of the (if not the) cornerstone artists in modern pop music history, the Beatles are ingrained in popular culture to such an extent that much of the band's music is as essential and inescapable as the air surrounding us. At any given moment, the average classic rock radio station is between...

[img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/security-breach-lock.jpg[/img]Over the past several days more than a dozen high quality screeners of Hollywood films have [url="https://torrentfreak.com/the-hateful-eight-and-the-revenant-leaked-online-151221/"]appeared online[/url], including The Hateful Eight, The Revenant and Steve Jobs. Devastated Hollywood studios are now working [url="https://torrentfreak.com/fbi-investigates-hollywood-ties-to-pirated-hateful-eight-screener-151223/"]with the FBI[/url] to catch the perpetrators, with some success. Last week they traced The Hateful Eight leak back to a Hollywood executive and the feds are currently looking into additional leads. The main targets in this case are individuals connected to the release group Hive-CM8. They’ve released the majority of the DVD screeners that are out at the moment and earlier [url="https://torrentfreak.com/leaked-spectre-screener-completes-hollywoods-ruined-christmas-151225/"]promised to leak[/url] a total of 40. However, it now appears that their releasing spree has come to an end. Comments made by an insider on a private torrent site claim that a recent “expose” of a torrent uploader has something to do with it. This information was posted on various sites including KAT and in the TF comment section. The person responsible for the expose, who uses the screen name Sup3rman, contacted TorrentFreak to provide his side of the story. After reading [url="https://torrentfreak.com/how-hollywood-caught-the-uks-most-prolific-movie-pirates-151227/"]an article[/url] about how easy it can sometimes be for law enforcement to catch movie pirates, he decided to test this theory on someone who uploaded many Hive-CM8 releases. To do this, he looked at the source of the movie screenshots and found that they were linked to an image sharing account with thousands of images. All this info was (and is) rather public as the screenshots were posted with the torrent uploads. Also, everyone could see where they were hosted and figure out that the account name in question matched that of the torrent uploader. However, not everyone close to the release group appreciated the “exposure” and as a result the public Hive-CM8 releases were halted. Hive-CM8 has not commented on the break but on a separate site he wrote that he won’t be available for some time. On first sight the ‘leaked’ information doesn’t appear to be anything new or particularly private. However, it certainly appears that something spooked the group or uploader into halting the releases. The reported break is confirmed by the lack of new releases over the past day or two, which is the longest gap since the first DVD screener was posted. Interestingly, however, The Big Short and Anomalisa have been published in private, or ‘internally’ as it’s known. At the end of the day many questions remain. Could it really be that the exposed image account is the sole reason for stopping the public releases? Or is something else going on behind the scenes? There’s no point in speculating any further at this point or drawing connections that may be totally irrelevant, but one has to wonder.

[img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/kodi-amazon.png[/img]Amazon’s Fire TV stick is a great little device. Plugging nicely into an available HDMI port on most TVs, the device ‘smartens up’ the dumbest of devices and makes available the growing world of IPTV services. The one currently plugged into my TV in the bedroom has mainly been used for the ‘free’ video streaming services bundled with Amazon Prime but the stick is equally at home streaming video from Netflix or any of the many services available from Amazon’s store. However, Amazon’s little device has a trick up its sleeve. Being Android based, Fire TV Stick can run a much wider array of apps and services than Amazon offers through its regular on-screen interface. Of particular interest is Kodi, which together with a vast array of plugins offers access to all the latest movies, TV shows and live sports most people could ever need. And news of just how special the Fire TV Stick/Kodi combo can be has been traveling fast in the past few weeks, particularly in the UK. The first signs that something might be going on came very early December when even for Prime customers Amazon started advising that delivery for Fire TV Sticks was not the usual ‘next day’, but was actually nearer two weeks. For someone looking to buy two units as gifts, that was unacceptable. Other stores weren’t much help either. [img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/currys-fire.jpg[/img] After checking stock at nearly two dozen Argos and Currys retailers (both huge operations in the UK), just two units were found at the former 12 miles away. But the bizarre thing was that when I collected the items the lady behind the counter asked smilingly: “Are these for Kodi?” Of course, I know about Kodi. We all know about Kodi. But for it to be mentioned without any prompting at the point of sale in a retailer was quite a surprise to say the least. And for a worker at a non-specialist retailer to know so much about it hints at the scale of the issue. In case you missed it, Amazon banned Kodi from its store in the summer over piracy concerns but with the [url="http://kodi.tv/download/"]official APK[/url] plus [url="http://www.jocala.com/adbfire.html"]adbFire[/url] and a loader like [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/app-root-home-launcher-replacement-app-t3118135"]FireStarter[/url], the software runs like a dream on Amazon Fire TV Stick. “Everybody is buying these for Kodi, you can get everything on it. But that’s it now, we’re out of stock,” I was told while handing over the cash. Interesting….. Intrigued, in the weeks that followed I monitored stock at Argos, Currys/PC World, Amazon themselves and several other big retailers including John Lewis and the nation’s biggest supermarket, Tesco. After an initial delay Amazon appeared to do the best in having stock available but all the rest really struggled. Now, just days after Christmas, Currys/PC World have zero stock for home delivery and its the same situation at Tesco, John Lewis and Argos. Checking for local stock at the latter in the London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow regions reveals not a single unit available. Only Amazon themselves can offer anything [i](correct, 28 Dec)[/i]. [img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/fire-stock.png[/img] Granted, it’s more than likely that Fire TV Stick has proven popular with consumers due to it working with Netflix and iPlayer, but Chromecast does that too and anyone can buy one of those devices at any of the above retailers anywhere in the next hour. Admittedly, it’s a possibility that Amazon screwed up and didn’t make enough Fire TV Sticks. But if that’s the case, why is eBay awash with (ahem) ‘fully loaded’ Amazon Fire TV Sticks for immediate delivery? [img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/kodi-ebay.png[/img] Also, Google Trends can sometimes offer an insight into what people are interested in during a given period. So, we locked into December, did searches for both Kodi and Fire TV, and restricted results to the UK. As can be seen from the image below, not only is Kodi even more popular than Amazon’s device, but the interest in both the software and the hardware follows similar waves. [img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/fire-trend.png[/img] There can be little doubt that interest in both Kodi and Fire TV are now at a high, not only in the UK, but also elsewhere. It’s also a further sign that piracy has really migrated out of the bedroom and onto the living room TV, something that Hollywood and other interested parties really wanted to avoid.
