Coppelion episode 6 was also leaked from Madman's site before it aired, strangely they didn't mention that though, or take the streams down.

Yeah.

somewhere buried in the webpage, something references <path>/myfile1

..... you think someone is not going to figure out that there's going to be a myfile2 next time?

I believe he's implying that you don't even put it on the server until you're actually okay with it being accessed, so that even if it does leak, it's a much smaller issue. It shouldn't be left to an on(access)/off(no access) "switch", it should be an on(access)/not available "switch".

I believe you are both making the same point. Configspace was simply pointing out how easy it was to find the next episode. It's the same thing that happened with Funimation a while back.

Man, what incredibly impatient jerks --- not just accessing the episode to watch it ahead of time, but going that extra step of pirating it across the web. It hurts the credibility of online streaming, which you'd think they'd be first in line to support.

I also agree with the sentiment that better measures should be taken in the future to prevent this from happening. The safest thing to do would be to keep the files on an offline format until they need to be streamed, or at the very least keep them in a non-web-accessible, password protected hidden directory on their server if they aren't already.

FMA:BH's simulcast was on a slight delay. It was leaked before FUNi made it public on their site, but it had already aired in Japan by that time.

So they've pulled an entire ad funded(?) stream because of a leak and they expect people who watch it will now wait till it returns?

That's not the world anymore.

They pulled the legal stream and unless Australia has much better streaming options than the UK their only legal stream.
So those who wish to watch the show will see no way to legally get it so will torrent it instead.

People aren't willing to put up with geographic segregation with the internet around.
