Bleeding Cool News snapped this photo of a poster that popped up outside a UK theater. The article titled “This Is What Happened Because The Americans Didn’t Get Thor First makes a good point--the film with the later release in America has quite a high priority on any foreign bootlegger’s list.

A couple of Little Bleeders have pointed out that a camcordered version of the film with Russian audio is whipping up a storm on the torrents. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people reading this have already downloaded it.
I am going to close out this post with the same sentiment I will end every post on piracy: it’s theft, it’s wrong, nobody is just entitled to watch or own whatever they want. Capitalism is rubbish and unfair, I know, but stealing is a good part of why."
