Ah, I feel dumb for not catching it. It is fair indeed.

About the article: that's not what I understand...

> a group approved by HBO to receive [the episodes]

What I understand is that the leak did not come from HBO but from one of their service providers or journalists or anything like that. Am I missing something?

Ah, you're right on the leak source. I over read "within". Sadly if they do pinpoint who leaked the copy I'm not sure it'll ever become public knowledge.

HBO has had DVD screener leaks before. If they all have the same watermark and the watermark is the only tracking info they have then, for all the reasons you put out, that'd just be silly.
