"Earlier this year, an advance copy of 'Star Wars: Episode III' was released to the Internet a day before the film's official worldwide opening. Yesterday, the US Attorney handed down charges to the eight people believed responsible. Using forensic markers embedded in the advance-release "screeners," law enforcement were able to track down the leaked copy and the people who came in contact with it. As a result of the early release, Episode III only managed to earn $380 million at the box office." [1]
I thought this would be a civil case, not a criminal case, but apparently these 8 individuals have violated some criminal law. |

has the entertainment industry considered the falling quality of films and songs as the reason for their falling profits, instead of simply blaming it on pirates?
