@[email protected] I'm too sleepy to put it into more words but Netflix scummy and bad so I am amused

Agree.

Owner-class corporations will continue to profit, due to hype of leaks.

Last paragraph was funny; many of us are travelers of the high seas, and I encourage others to not be intimidated by the fear mongering; just use a sandboxed VM or one of the many other options in the wild west of the interwebs.

Low-resolution footage with timestamps and visible watermarks have been posted on Twitter, 4Chan, and torrent sites.

The affected Netflix shows reportedly include:

  • Arcane
  • Dandadan
  • Heartstopper
  • Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld
  • Mononoke the Movie: Phantom in the Rain
  • Plankton: The Movie
  • Ranma 1/2
  • Spellbound
  • Terminator Zero

Aside from the morality of downloading a leaked version of an as-yet-unreleased TV show, fans would be wise to consider the potential security risks of reckless downloading content which claims to be of their favourite programmes - as it may expose your computer to malware or other threats.
