First Expendables 3 Pirates Arrested

The first arrests have taken place concerning the leaking of The Expendables 3.  Two men in the UK.  According to the BBC:

Anti-piracy police have arrested two men on suspicion of leaking action film The Expendables 3 before its release date. Detectives from the Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit (Pipcu) arrested two men in Upton, Wirral, and Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.  Copies of the film began circulating online from 25 July. The official US release date was not until 15 August.  The men, a 36-year-old and 33-year-old, were arrested at their homes and taken to local police stations. The pair are suspected of stealing the film from a cloud-based system before uploading it on to the internet.

Sounds like these men were arrested for a more prominent role in promulgating the movie as opposed to simply downloading it.  The leak was first mentioned when an anonymous user asked for assistance on actually leaking a movie, suggesting they weren’t too internet savvy.  This case seems to be separate.  You can read more on the leaking of this movie, including the message the original leaker gave, by clicking here.
