The latest issue of Wizard magazine features an exclusive interview with Star Trek movie producer Damon Lindelof, in which he talks about internet spoilers leaks such as spy photos and script pages appearing online. Here are few excerpts from the interview.
"Leaks totally ruin a project," says Lindelof "I believe most people want to be surprised. I also believe most people can't resist the temptation of peeking. The only solution is to give them nothing to peek at....but the Net makes that pratically impossible."
"Oftentimes, the fans feel protective of these franchises and in many cases, they rightfully feel more protective than the filmmakers themselves," he said "If you're doing a Superman or a Indiana Jones movie, us geeks have so much of our time and childhood emotionally invested in those characters, we actually feel like we're owed a taste of what's going on before we put down our 12 bucks."
Also, according to Lindelof, "misinformation campaigns can backfire by making the fans angry."

Quote from falcon:
I would categorize the Shatner "campaign" as a misinformation attempt...
Just before Xmas, Damon Lindelof was quoted as saying that "There are still ongoing talks" about Shatner's involvement in ST:XI.
Those who accept Lindelof's word about "misinformation campaigns" must also accept his word about Shatner.
