EDIT AGAIN Cx
So its official that the distribution of episode 3 on the internet was a MISTAKE, and not a crime done by a staff member (from Code Geass site -and many thanks for aoi_rein and akeno_yuki for mentioning it >w<)>

Episode 3 will be aired as planned, with no revision done.

For the Japanese: HERE
For the English: HERE



Edit:
-From Code Geass FIRST SITE-
It's in the "What's New"> box towards the left bottom corner... quite small

Trans:
Just a few minutes ago, one of the staff members was arrested.

At the emergency meeting tomorrow, the stopping of the airing of episode 3 will be determined and announced.
From here, we may air the story planned for episode 4 earlier (skip episode 3), or not air anything for 2 weeks and then air a revised version of the leaked episode 3; we will decide that tomorrow.
This has been informed to all cast and staff, including the director.

HERE is my translation of the whole clip (excluding the ED of course, but preview included).
AGAIN, this may not become official show, so don't take whatever you see there and write about it as if thats the story for Code Geass.
If you want a brief summary, comment... but the translations I just posted at my dA journal (link up above) should be enough. C:

Ask questions, if any ^^
I'm willing to still do brief explanation translations (since it is my native language...) if you need any, but it wont be for actual subbing cuz I hate people who take my translations from my site and just use it for their fansub D:


ALSO
They're not really punishing us... its just that because it was leaked, they feel like (MAY BE) changing it ... not direct punishment for us. It's just that we take it as some punishment so don't talk too much crap about Sunrise please TwT;; it's not their fault. I mean, even if it was some other company, I'm sure they would consider such actions TwT
Sunrise has all rights to take its actions.

I wonder if they're totally changing the story...
Personally, I think they should just stay..
I mean, does it really matter? it just got leaked <-idiot


I'm just surprise no one bothered to leak CG before. xD;;

My personal opinion is that no, it shouldn't be such a huge deal, but the studio loves its surprises and twists. Even if, you know. People usually manage to find out about them a few episodes in advance anyway.

Oh, Sunrise has eyes everywhere. So it was a pretty stupid decision to try leaking it—I just wish they wouldn't punish the entire fandom for it. I, for one, was perfectly content to wait until Sunday.

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

Eh, hopefully you don't think I'm opposing to you or anything.. I mean, I'm trying not to piss you off. TwT;;

Personally, since I did grow up in the 'an episode per week' thing since I was kid for anime and drama and like... anything.
Waiting a week, is no pain.
Two weeks, I'll complain here and there, but I don't mind. As long as the show's not canceled. I mean. I waited an year since episode 23 (even though there was epi 24 and 25 in between) but it doesn't change much. I'm still waiting for Haruhi, so I don't mind about the wait. All I'm concerned about is if they're going to change the whole story. I just want them to stick to whatever they had in the beginning, and not being swayed around with one leak. I mean, sunrise does have eyes everywhere like you said, but just because of this one time, they shouldn't be so paranoid. It's not like they're going to loose listeners, at least not me. Since I'm the type that doesn't mind spoilers, this leak just got me even more interested, rather than pissed.
Again, I'm not against you ><;;

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

. . . oh, no, I'm more irritated at Sunrise right now. XD; I'm not pissed at you at all! [cuddles? ♥] I just know that they have a gigantic ego about their surprises and. . . am not entirely surprised they took action.

I too can wait two weeks. It just means I have to actually concentrate on my studying this Sunday, sob.

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

Oh TwT;; For some reason, I thought you were totally pissed at me for making such a post xDDD [huggle (*´∀｀*)]

Oh... studying... totally forgot that was on my schedule as well. xDDD;;
As long as they don't mess up Code Geass, I don't mind waiting 8D

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

N-NO any anger is totally for the situation. No worries!

Let's hope! Sunrise is already throwing some curveballs that are making me raise an eyebrow, so I'm crossing my fingers for some kind of explanation in future episodes.

>w<)>

Mm, the story (from the leakage) looks pretty interesting 8D
Personally, I would like an explanation (the beginning) to this leakage this weekend as planned Cx
But then again, as mentioned in a comment below... Japan is like 3AM (so close to 12AM when it was released) right now...
I wonder if the news from the 4chan isxelle gave me is correct...
><;;
It seems correct though. I mean, Sunrise would never release anything before. XDDD;
