"Our investigators receive extensive training and are technologically savvy."Ben Sheffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477793715765992689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-61929209950600843532009-05-07T15:39:00.000-07:002009-05-07T15:39:00.000-07:00As it was a workprint it's unlikely to have made a...As it was a workprint it's unlikely to have made a major impact.<br /><br />I sure hope the FBI isn't investigating this.

But there is absolutely no evidence that the studio encouraged, tolerated, or otherwise promoted the leak. To the contrary: Roger Friedman was canned from Fox News for seeming to condone the leak, and are cooperating with the FBI in tracking down and prosecuting the leaker.Ben Sheffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477793715765992689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-40383483185755886672009-05-03T21:40:00.000-07:002009-05-03T21:40:00.000-07:00This was not camcorded.
