I wonder if the pirates think that this will really do anything. The people that were already going to pirate it, are going to pirate it, but now they can get a better source earlier. This isn't going to really affect people going to the movies to see it though; most people who pirate wouldn't have seen it in theaters anyway, and those that now know you can probably won't.
You can only ransom something if that something has value to the ransomee. I'm not a Disney exec, but I don't really think threatening to leak the movie has much value.
- douche 9y agoRight, we're only ten days away from when the movie would be all over torrent sites anyway, whether it was leaked pre-release or not.
- misingnoglic 9y agoIm sure there's some group of people who are impatient and would have seen it in theaters to avoid the crappy hand camera version (or waiting), but instead can now just pirate it and can watch it asap.

Worst case is that the leak enables negative word of mouth before the films even hit a screen, but execs would only worry about that if they already were insecure about the film. Don't know if that's the case for PotC 5.
