From the Nickelodeon Executive Q&A on Reddit:
Can be found here!
Q: Has Nick ever considered using viral marketing techniques? I’m asking because many people now suspect that Nickelodeon, or an employee thereof, is responsible for the recent flood of Korra-related leaked clips and screenshots. If not, how do you usually handle leakers?
A: I don’t know if the company has any plans in place or in the future but I do know that we are involved in social media and are always going to have to adjust to how people hear about or receive our stuff.With that said, no the leaks were not intended. People who steal stuff and go against the wishes of the creators by posting stuff are scum. The world does not belong to you (one) just because you think it does and it hurts people even if you don’t think it does. How we track people and deal with them I probably shouldn’t say…other than “hopefully harshly”.
Q: How do you guys feel about the Legend of Korra leaks around those parts?
A: I answered this elsewhere. I’m not a fan. I mean I know it has been forever since the last series and people are excited but it is still wrong. It screws a lot of people out of their hard work and is damaging in many ways.I was very happy with all of the positive feedback it got, if anything good came out of it. There was very little negative feedback which is good…but I didn’t expect there would be as it is awesome.
The Track Team talks about Korra
These are all screenshots from the Track Team’s facebook page. Looks like Korra’s music is going to be AMAZING.

(Possible) good news about the title of Korra
From user Eudaemon on ASN:
Avatar: Legend of Korra is most likely the title of the series, as it was renewed for consideration for usage on October 10, 2011.
The trademark The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra was approved August 30, 2011 and Viacom has until January 30, 2012 (6 months after approval) to renew consideration for usage or the trademark is abandoned. Since no further action has been taken on the trademark “The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra”, its case will be abandoned in 24 days. Avatar: Legend of Korra now has until April 4, 2012 (due to the extension Viacom filed) to be registered for use, it is a logical conclusion that Avatar: Legend of Korra is in fact, the title of the series.
Also, it is why there is nothing on Nick about the show. They aren’t forgetting about it or “trolling” fans; they merely can’t show any material on the network without a trademark registered (SDCC is different since it was not on the air and it was a work-in-progress at the time).Here are some links for proof:
Trademark Status for The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra
Trademark Status for Avatar: Legend of KorraI saw this and got really excited, I just wanted to share! =) This and the supposed “news” coming out tomorrow has gotten me all hyped up!

- The United Republic is a nation formed out of all previous Fire Nation colonies by Avatar Aang and Firelord Zuko. Republic City is the capitol.
- The 4 benders in the intro are past Avatars: Kyoshi, Roku, Aang and finally Korra.
- After the end of the opening sequence, we see the beginning of the first episode of Korra, entitles “Welcome to Republic City.” It seems to show people approaching a home on a snowy night. This could show Korra’s Avatar confirmation, or may feature her being told of her identity.
Here is a transcript of the speech:
“When I was a boy, my father, Avatar Aang, told me the story of how he and his friends heroically ended the Hundred Year War. Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko transformed the Fire Nation colonies into the United Republic of Nations, a society where Benders and non-Benders from all over the world could live and thrive together in peace and harmony. They named the capitol of this great land Republic City. Avatar Aang accomplished many remarkable things in his life, but sadly his time in this world came to an end. And, like the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of the Avatar began anew.”
