I think we have our answer as to what happened...

Interesting. But then Apple really wasn't the direct victim. Someone scooped them with some crappy camcorder under the coat video from a theater, right? So people are still going to flock to iTunes to see the video... And it isn't like the pirated copy was a hacked copy of the one Apple was offering, right?

Unless I misunderstood....

If you misunderstood, then I misunderstood right along with you. Apple might have lost the chance to be the first place to show it online, but that shouldn't have stopped them from going online with it.

Did it stop them? what I gather is that they didn't update until the evening because they needed it to premiere at a certain time....

Ah, I see your point. From my point of view, they delayed their updates, which usually happen near midnight Monday night Cupertino time, to late on Tuesday, but to Apple's point of view they might have merely made their Tuesday updates on Tuesday and not "early" as they usually do.
