Advanced episodes of Underbelly pirated on net

underbelly1_wideweb__470x309%2C0.jpg According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Channel 9 is facing another headache over its hit crime drama Underbelly after advanced screener copies of six episodes were released onto the internet.

The leaking of the episodes four to nine, which are yet to be screened, add to Nine's woes over the series.

The $13 million program has already been banned in Victoria due to an underworld murder trail and the network's bosses are already investigating how advanced episodes got into hands of underworld bosses in Victoria.

The advanced episodes, tagged as screener copies, were posted onto the internet yesterday afternoon.

... About 1,273,000 viewers watched episode three, making it the top rated show in Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.
