Top US TV Pilots Leaked Online
At least half a dozen highly anticipated broadcast network fall pilots have been leaked online. Copies of NBC's "Bionic Woman," ABC's "Pushing Daisies," The CW's "Reaper" and several other shows were available Friday for illegal download on sites such as Torrent Spy, The Pirate Bay and Mininova. Most of the titles appear to have been uploaded within the past week. The first copy of "Bionic" was listed as uploaded two days ago, while the earliest "Reaper" file was date-marked seven days ago. Other leaked shows include Fox's midseason "The Terminator" spin-off "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," ABC's "Cavemen," and NBC's "Chuck" and "Lipstick Jungle."

Network representatives expressed surprise that the full-length pilots were on the Web and alerted their studio partners. Some said they were anticipating that critic and industry screener copies would leak eventually as smattering of fall pilots have found their way online during the past few years. All networks contacted declined official comment.

Most of the leaked shows are among the more anticipated, buzz-heavy titles of the fall (there are many copies of "Bionic" and "Connor" online, for example, but no copies of ABC's "Carpoolers" or The CW's "Life is Wild" were found). Given the selection, some downloaders wondered if the networks and studios leaked the programs themselves. Network and studio representatives, however, denied uploading the shows. "We're doing everything we can to fight piracy," said one major studio representative who declined to be identified. "Our piracy department is playing whack-a-mole with these things."
