This is the most exciting Chinese New Year ever! The Edison sex scandal photos are being made available one batch at a time by someone going by the alias “Kira”. (If the name Kira means nothing to you, go watch Death Note!) The files get distributed by e-mail and file sharing websites to avoid problems with the law.
This Kira supposedly has about 1300 photos and some videos. So far around 200 to 300 photos have been released and I’ve seen one crappy teaser video. On Chinese online forums (which they like to call “bbs”), people are leaving their e-mail addresses to receive the latest batch.
Blogger Alvin Lim has been doing a good job keeping English speakers up to date. Shanghaiist.com has in-depth info on the whole thing. This scandal even made it to Wikipedia. Celebrity gossip blog The Blemish has links to the goodies.
And as for Chinese websites, the news is all over the place. The actual files are a little hard to find but people who have the files have been sharing them through QQ (the instant messenger software everybody in China uses).
Someone, ummm, told me that you can also find the stuff through bittorrent. Youtorrent.com should be able to find it, just searching in English.
Sweet! Didn’t know there’s a youtorrent.com.
