maVen (2005)
From a bootleg DVD of "Wallace and Gromit in Curse of the Were Rabbit". Backstory from Wikipedia: maVen were a film release group from October 2005 until the summer of 2006. Releases from maVen stopped when the FBI caught Gérémi Adam, one of its key members. The 27-year-old Montreal resident has been sentenced to two and a half months in prison and was also ordered to complete 100 hours of community service. He pleaded guilty to distributing two major motion pictures: "Invincible" and "How to Eat Fried Worms". After the bust, releases ceased and another group called maVenssupplieR immediately took up the slack. In April 2010, the 28-year-old Gérémi Adam died of a drug overdose at the Pointe-aux-Trembles home he shared with his girlfriend, Cynthia Laporte. mVs (Maven Supplier) released a workprint of Halloween three days before its official release on August 27, 2007.
