The highly anticipated Closure DVD is leaked by a mysterious user on The Pirate Bay called seed0 ([73]) who is very likely to be from the NIN camp, because at the same time Trent made a post on his blog on The Spiral pointing at the release as a christmas present ("12/21/06 : Happy Holidays! This one is a guilt-free download. (shhhh - I didn't say that out loud). If you know what I'm talking about, cool."). [74] The leak makes sense since the official release of the DVD was pushed back for years and Trent therefore finally released it his way.
Some days later (12.23.06) the second disc of the aforementioned DVD followed via the same user seed0. [75] Even one week later (12.30.06) the so called Broken Movie was released the same way (see also: Broken Movie#Release). [76]
