A movie director has claimed that Hollywood directors abusing staff can lead to movie leaks:

The idea that The Expendables 3 leaked directly from Hollywood is not new. Pristine copies like these simply aren't available on the streets unless an insider has had a hand in it somehow, whether that interaction was intentional or otherwise.

In some instances the motivation to leak, Alexander suggests, could be borne out of a desire to get even. Assistants to the higher-ups are often treated badly, so more consideration should be given to what they might do in return, the director notes.

"It's kind of like going to a restaurant and thinking twice about insulting the waiter or busboy because you're afraid of what they'll put in the food before they bring it back", Alexander explains.
