So a few thousand people get to see the flic in poor quality, jerky, time-labeled format for "free" - even though they spent hours dowsnloading it and burning it. I could do the same but it was more fun just taking my son (and a break) on a weekday to see the flic.
With the numbers I've seen for "Sith" I don't think 'ol George or the studio is going to starve to death due to the stolen sales. $158.5 million in the first 4 day weekend for a dark, poorly written film. Personally I'm glad he's finished with Star Wars. It was time. ;-(

lucas probably had the copy leaked, jus for the benefit of the mpaa, so that there would be an 'event'.

now we know that the dhs and patriot act were used against the downloaders of this movie, to make an example of the downloaders... you can bet your ass that the mpaa, will be bemoaning the need for evermore dhs and patriot act level involvement by the feds. They will push until becomes the norm for internet censorship, surveillance and continuous federal investigations.

'everytime you download an mp3, a terrorist makes another pipe bomb..." or similar will be next.

puleeeaase.
