I had no idea such a community of spoilers existed. It was rather startling for me, for whom a spoiler is generally a frowned upon thing. However, given the amount of speculation that goes on over any given popular thing on the internet, it doesn’t seem like that great a leap for there to be another group of people who just “have to know.”

The struggle that corporations have with their intellectual property being dealt with in whatever manner a fans sees fit will probably never go away as long as they’re interested in making money. Both groups feel a strong sense of entitlement. I’m on the side of the fans as long as they’re not trying to make money off of someone else’s work. As long as that’s the case, who cares really what they’re up to?
