Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

It has happened so many times, in the past, that you think they would lock down that crap better.

The problem is there's a lot of moving parts getting the support products out for a show or movie, and you want to be able to drop them soon after said show or movie finishes airing; so its easy for the early parts of such product to arrive somewhere where someone gets a look at it. Its probably a nearly unavoidable risk of the merchantilization of media products.

Most of the leaks seem to come from pics that are released by the manufacturer, or when people crawl the manufacturer's website to find "unplublished" pages. HINT: The pages are actually published. They just don't have a link from a "live" page to them yet. A simple .htaccess file, that could just be deleted from the directory when the product gets released, should block anyone seeing it. The deletion could even be scheduled.

That'd slow it down, but someone is still producing and handling the packaging, and putting the page together in the first place. And they aren't part of the media company, so the latter's security handling won't do much.
