In 2009 an unfinished copy of the latest in the X-Men movie series hit the Internet. The controversy was unprecedented and as expected the leak has since been thoroughly milked by Hollywood, who even referencing it in a failed case against a BitTorrent tracker. As the claimed original uploader now officially pleads guilty, he faces seeing out 2011 in jail. But after months of FBI investigations, unsurprisingly, no one else faces any charges.

By now the beginning of the Wolverine leak story is a well-worn tale. In April 2009 an unfinished ‘workprint’ copy of the movie appeared online and spread like wild fire, a month before it was due its official release.

THE THING HERE WAS :
that the alleged "workprint copy" WAS THE FINAL CUT !!! i have a fucking BD of X-MEN ORIGNIS Laughing [i got it for free never would buy such shit] and its 1:1 the same movie... the thing was for such a BIG AAA MOVIE with a budget of 150$ million those CGI effects look so SHITTY that the studio making those didn't want to be connected to this movie [one company out of 17 that rendered the cgi to this movie]... and the lulz is the same studio leaked it Laughing

.... Uhh.. no? The workprint leak had almost none of the CGI in place, so it was not the final cut The fight scene at the end, on top of the power plant, was especially laughable without the CGI in place. THAT was the workprint.
