I saw it mentioned on a Trek Discord then I came here to mention it, but saw that Daniel already did.

To avoid getting caught up in Paramount purges of information if they so choose. Perhaps an overreaction but prudent given the nature of the mistake.

But they can't so choose since posting a link to a legal source is legal.

Yes, they can since it's their property and released in violation of an agreement.

They can have the content itself removed, but posting a link to an official source is completely legal, no different from buying an official disc accidentally released early.

And they can legally request it removed. It's still their property.

Ok looks like this wasn't just some Twitter rumor from a dubious source.

I was fearing Netflix was going to sit on this for most of the year, then drop ten episodes in December. Then release the final ten at the tail end of 2025. Hopefully this accidental release encourages an expedited Netflix drop, especially if the episodes drift off the French coast into the high seas...

No, they can't, and the copied link isn't their property. All they can legally do is instruct France TV to remove it. They cannot stop people linking to it while it remains up.

 

[fireproof78]

No, they can't, and the link isn't their property.

It concerns their property and it's distribution. If you think they can't I welcome you to challenge them and find out.

I would welcome the entertainment. *grabs popcorn.*

I've already done so, as have many others by now, and precisely zero of us will face any legal consequences because sharing links to legal streaming platforms isn't illegal and there is no exception for accidental early releases.

I'm so proud of you.

Oh wow, you're so brave. Whaddya want, a cookie?

 

[Markonian]

I looked at the link and saw a spoiler name.
No biggie, I'll be happy that the show is hopefully out in other languages soon.

Yeah it's not exactly like this is some leaked top secret nuclear document mishandled by a high level official

Instead it's the French publicly owned broadcaster letting something out early.

 

[Tuskin38]

Multiple French services seem to have it.

It's not how the production team wanted it released.

It's not at all brave, which was precisely my point all along.

 

[The Wormhole]

I wonder if it’s “legal” for Memory Alpha to create content about Le Season Deux now?

Gray area. When one of the Picard episodes (Nepenthe in S1, I think) ended up being released on one of the Amazon Prime international outlets, MA claimed they couldn't legally provide updates related to the episode until its official airdate. But then, when the cast photo for Disco S3 leaked in February 2020 MA posted and Paramount issued them a cease and desist to remove it, which they refused claiming the matter "had to be discussed" before it could be removed. It never was removed, even though the image wasn't officially released until September 2020.

Okay so, I have no intent of actually watching this proper until it's in English, but I had to spoil myself on the new Voyager.

The bridge is as meh as meh can be. Protostar had this amazing bridge, Dauntless was... Dauntless from Voyager again. But Voyager-A is uninspired at first glance.

Interestingly, the Hagemans apparently had a tweet about it but it was deleted. I wonder if France2 made a mistake or if they actually do have the right to release it at this time, independently of what Netflix does. In which case, netflix and paramount/cbs may want to keep it as quiet as possible.

We are talking about a French public broadcaster here, not a "high seas" site. I don't think it will impact viewing figures much on netflix, in countries where they have broadcast rights.

Edit: in the opinion of this French twitter account, the second season is even better than the first: https://twitter.com/LeQuadrantPop/status/1771494391879737688

Do you know what they said?

On Reddit, u/zachotule joked that "this is Geneviève Bujold’s revenge."

This X post by Trek Central has attracted impotent rage from fanboys hilariously demanding that no one discuss this.
