but why?
For internet clout?

I don't think I'd care if I were Netflix. I imagine they're not losing any noticeable money from this. Probably why they never responded to him to begin with.
Also 'thedarkoverlord' is an awful hacker handle that only a tool would adopt.

Yeah I wonder if Netflix will just reshuffle their schedule and put the episodes out early. I'm pretty sure this season was supposed to air in early June so if it's done they may be able to put them out early and maybe push back something else like House of Cards.

If news are to be believe, extortion.
Here's the part that seems fishy, like some green-as-grass writer's vision of evil hackers:
Variety said:
First read the news on TorrentFreak, next their statement on PasteBin, and nowhere did I find the paragraph quoted above. Somebody mind linking to some sources?

Even if you was to watch the first 10 episodes that have been leaked you'd still be missing the final crucial 3 episodes. Not sure if Netflix will move it up or not because of this.

That's shocking. Shocking. Outrageous.
... Any chance of Defenders early?

That reads pretty much the same on a quick look.

If Netflix put it up early they encourage future early releases of their shows by similar groups ...
I would just ignore.

Fourth season was better.
What did he mean by this?

4th season was a significant improvement and arguable better than the 1st.

I dropped it after the first episode of Season 4 where they used Papa Roach. Season 3 was a huge drag and the season 4 premier gave no hints that the stupidity would be toned down.
Sure but they could be living in any number of countries that don't care about that kind of thing.
They probably requested money in Bitcoin which makes it even more hard to trace.

It said the first 10 episodes were released online, so presumably it'll be 13 like the other 4.
I wonder who would download this. I'm sure people will, but they'll still have to wait until June to actually finish it. What if episode 10 ends on a cliffhanger?
Right? Like, I can't imagine even one person subscribing on a one-month basis to watch ONE show. Netflix is basically a utility bill to me.

The article I read made it seem like it could have an economic effect on Netflix but I'm pretty sure someone that deep in the show would tend to be a Netflix viewer. Netflix also fits in the cost/convenience curve at a point where it's more of a hassle to pirate their shows than it is to subscribe.

It's like, a few weeks wait after? Given how sporadic tv schedules are in the states its just like every other show.

Well even if there are people who only subscribe to watch this one show, Netflix will get their money for the last three episodes come June. Also not many people do this, most of them keep their subscription on for everything else. And those who do pirate were never going to give Netflix money anyway, they get to watch 10 episodes in advance. Nothing changes.
This pirate is an idiot.

How many people really care that much? I'd rather just wait until it showed up on Netflix for the ease of it.

I'm old and patient. I'll wait.
Surprised the hacker put then on a torrent site instead if uploading them to those sites that stream a ton of videos instead. Guess it was easier for them.
I feel like most people would find it more convenient to just wait and watch on the platform they want instead of going through the effort to torrent it but who knows​

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Is he the same hacker who found all those episodes of Little Witch Academia that Netflix funded, and leaked them to Japanese tv once a week for the past three months?
Yeah, I didn't get that move. Seems poorly thought out.

They've have to hack USA Network and Mr.Robot isn't even filming yet.
Whaaat? We stopped after season one. What are you talking about here?
