Well, those are obviously theft (Gaming)

Leaking the actual game is obviously theft. But how about a cutscene? Or a video of gameplay that includes said cutscene? Or even just the video of gameplay?

From a gamer's perspective, I'd say those sorts of leaks are completely meaningless. If I'm someone who cares about spoilers, I'm not going to watch them. If I don't care about spoilers, and/or enjoy watching videos of games before I play them, then I'm watching footage I was planning to watch anyway, just a little sooner.

I'm with this.

Now if it was like a "let's play" of an unreleased game, while that isn't the same as playing the game, I'd be pretty darn disgusted with whoever leaked it and I wouldn't watch it. Of course if the entire let's play clocked in at 1 hour and 18 minutes for a $60 game, I'd say whoever leaked it did us a favor and I wish they'd been there when Rage came out.
