Dexter Season Premiere Leaks on BitTorrent

A few days after the season premiere of House appeared online, another high-profile TV-show leaked today.

More than a week before it’s scheduled to be televised the first episode of Dexter season 6 is already available on BitTorrent.

The 502 MB file is ripped from a DVD source, most likely a promotional DVD that was sent out to the media.

Dexter is one of the most downloaded shows on BitTorrent. In 2009 it was the 4th most downloaded show with 2,780,000 downloads for the top episode.

A year later Dexter climbed to third place with an estimated 3,880,000 downloads for the most popular episode.

In addition, Dexter appeared in the BitTorrent zeitgeist of 2010 as the 15th most searched for phrase.

      No, Showtime doesn’t give a shit about the Dexter leaks. Every year the first one or two episodes leak to get free viral promotion for the show. Look at how official the screener is and there are no watermarks or “promo” tags in the beginning or end. This was an official ‘leak’ by Showtime.

      They do this on purpose. Dexter is the perfect and foremost example of media Companies “leaking” their own shit as a form of advertisement. They will not be complaining even a peep about how much this was downloaded.

      Trust me…

        IMO, you’re right on the money. Seeing the leaked copy most definitely whet my appetite for the new season.
