The Hateful Eight has been uploaded by Video Pirates

A high-quality copy of The Hateful Eight Western directed by Quentin Tarantino hit the web just days before its official premiere in North America. This is reported by the Variety edition.

The hacker group Hive-CM8 claimed responsibility for the leak, claiming that it had a so-called "DVDScreener" - a copy that is usually provided to various professional associations that present annual awards for movie achievements. It is alleged that only in the first 24 hours after the appearance of The Hateful Eight in file-sharing networks, the picture was downloaded from more than 500 thousand unique IP-addresses.

The video pirates also had copies of The Survivor movies, in starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and Creed: The Rocky Legacy, which is a sequel to the popular boxing drama series.

Note that the appearance of "DVDScreener" versions on the Web is quite common during the reward season. For example, in January 2014, a copy of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty turned out to be on file-sharing networks with a note that it was intended for Academy Member Ellen DeGeneres, host of the 2014 Oscars.
