Scientology Tracking Dowloads of The Profit

It’s Over Nine Thousand noticed something interesting about the leaked movie The Profit, a movie banned in the United States by the Church of Scientology: many of the IP addresses seeding the torrent are owned by the cult.

One cannot help but speculate on reasons why Scientology computers seem to be downloading a movie they’ve successfully blocked from distribution. IP harvesting, perhaps? Given that all other interested parties have denied the movie has been leaked by them, the word “honeypot” springs to mind.
