Thanks satanwantsme, but I think the link to the wired article has already been posted but if there is something missing from the online article I read I stand corrected. I know little about all the stuff going on behind the scenes, but as to what was told in the article it seems like old news. Even a dullard like me knows the majority of the things mentioned in this article. But if it can be confirmed that someone in Matine gave out this info or gave an interview, sure boot there asses out; scene ban or whatever. This Bruce Forest idiot from junentertainment.com , the self-described "elder-statesman" in the piracy scene as the article reads, sounds like a freakin wanna-be. He says in the interview that he's a double agent. Another word for a SNITCH. A Rat to all of us in here. Like I said, I'm a newbie, but I know that if I use google I can find that Jun Entertainment lists Bruce forest as a "principal." If I look on their site I can see that the site lists NBC enterprises as one of it's clients. NBC is 80% owned by General Electric and 20% owned by Vivendi Universal. Vivendi Universal game labels include Blizzard Entertainment (warcraft series), Fox Interactive (Aliens vs. Predator) and of course Sierra Entertainment (Half-life + NOLF). And GE lists UNIVERSAL Pictures as it's film division. In the article Bruce says in referance to the whole HULK release incident "Here's what actually happened: Universal gave the workprint to its Manhattan ad agency. Then the print got to SMF. And bam!" SMF, Forest explains, is a piracy group that specializes in acquiring movies in theatrical release. So was bruce inpart responsible for turning in people in the scene by helping the cops/studio track down those responsible? Maybe he knows, cause I don't.
Now why am I talking about all this crap? I was wondering because in the article from WIRED it says "As a consultant for one of the world's largest entertainment companies, Forest notifies his bosses whenever one of their movies appears on a topsite. " Bruce states "Basically, I'm a double agent," he concedes. "Though I don't fink anyone out. I'm not a cop." GIVE ME A BREAK. So he's a good guy that tells his employers when a movie/game is released but a bad "elder statesman in the piracy community" by NOT telling his employers where that movie came from, who released and where they can find these guys who did the pirating (YARRRR). This guys screaming for attention so much it hurts. But hes in the wrong scene to be drawing attention. I might be playing comspiracy theororist but maybe there is some knod of connection, maybe there is not. Peace
