Back in September, an uncut pre-release version of Rockstar Games’ Manhunt 2 for the PlayStation 2 found its way onto the internet. As part of a recent investigation into how “easy” the respective game is to download from the internet, Sky News sought further clarification from Rockstar Games over the issue and found that the individual responsible for the leak, who was not directly involved with Rockstar, had been caught and fired.

It accepts the game was leaked onto the web by an employee of a different company who had access to the preview copy. That person has been sacked.
