Briefly: Machinima has just announced that the entire first episode of Starz highly anticipated high-seas drama, Black Sails, will debut on Machinima Prime a full week before its television premiere.

The pilot will hit YouTube on January 18th, and from everything we’ve seen from Black Sails so far, it should be awesome.
