A high-quality copy of J.J. Abrams-directed 'Super 8' has popped up online and some are saying radio host Howard Stern is to blame.

Howard Stern might have some explaining to do. The Steven Spielberg-produced film "Super 8" has been leaked online and the finger has been pointed at the notorious shock jock.

TorrentFreak reports that "while it is hardly unusual for preview copy DVD screeners to become available in this way, it is unusual for them to carry watermarks which appear to identify the source of the leak."

Low-quality copies of the movie, which was directed by J.J. Abrams, have reportedly been floating around online since the movie premiered at the beginning of June. However, TorrentFreak says in the last 24 hours, several high-quality versions of "Super 8" have popped up in some P2P groups with watermarks on the bottom of the screen that identify the movie as coming from Paramount Pictures. In the top right hand corner of the screen another watermark appears, showing who the copy belongs to, and apparently, that person is "H. Stern."

According to TorrentFreak, these watermarks appear throughout the entire movie. It claims that it's possible someone could be pranking the infamous radio host, but it "seems unlikely that a release group would do such a thing." It also points out that if it were a pranked copy, it's likely that a regular version of the film would be uncovered rather quickly.

Sten's stylist Ralph Cirella took to Twitter to deny the DJ's involvement in the leak.

"Ha, no but I've been hearing about it #nomorescreenersforhowie RT @GusIsGrumpy you leak Howard's copy of Super 8? It's all over the internet!," he tweeted.

Stern, Paramount, and Spielberg have all been silent on the controversy, but many are saying it's likely Stern will discuss the issue on his radio show this week.
