Bleeding Cool, Robot 6 On Source Of Pirated Justice League #1

So apparently there were pirated scans of DC's Justice League #1 available for download hours before the print and downloadable-comic copies were available for sale. This could be seen as a troubling sign for the company's relaunch and digital strategy introduction this week not necessarily from a security standpoint -- something like this was bound to happen -- but more for what it indicated as an appetite for digital copies of the publisher's New 52 comics that slips past the price point at which DC has decided to make them available. This post at Robot 6 leading back to a Bleeding Cool post gets you to what was uncovered: that DC's digital partner Comixology did release some copies of the book early, but that the pirated copies came from a physical comic book. I would imagine the latter scenario is more of a relief than a hiccup at Comixology would have been.
