News reports say three Southern California men were charged with illegally posting on the Internet pirated copies of Hollywood movies, including Oscar nominees Fox Searchlight’s Slumdog Millionaire and Paramount’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The trio were charged in separate cases and face a maximum 3 years in prison if convicted, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles. They are accused of posting the films at Web sites like thepiratebay.org, the world’s largest file-sharing site using BitTorrent software which allows users to download and share files in 34 languages for free. The site’s founders face charges in Sweden for contributing to copyright infringement.

And since they were posted, you know it’s spread to servers around the world. Why pay for it? It just shows the irrelevancy of Hollywood, driven by America-hating sellouts, being played for like the fools they are by cunning software pirates. Hell, they got tiny cameras now that can fit on lapels that can film the whole thing. Strip search all movie go-ers at the theaters? I don’t think so. Looks like You Tube forever rules.
Well, thank heavens for Pirate Bay – I’m in one of the guilds that doesn’t get every screener, and with fewer screenings scheduled this year, I wouldn’t have seen Milk in particular without it. Everyone complained about the quality, though.
