Bootleg Star Wars AotC Debuts on Internet

Arctic Fox writes "Matt Drudge is reporting that bootleg copies of the new Star Wars movie have been appearing on the internet one week before the movie's big screeen debut. The article says that they have used a tripod mounted camera at a pre-screening to tape it. Not known is if anyone is seen walking in front of the camera." I gotta admit, I find this amusing, although I'd never bother downloading it: I've had 12:01 tickets ready to go and there is no way I'm gonna spoil it watching a low quality divx.

What AHH?

I loss big interest in the first 10 minutes when they could no keep the prespectest right.

The "tall" people on stilts - with "short" arms
Then not on stilts - with "normal" arms
Then all corrected (computer) with wrong walk/run rythm.

The "short" poeple - with "normal" arms
Then with "short" arms (kids)
Then all corrected (computer) with wrong walk/run rythm.

I may to grow to like the movie later... but not worth the "price of the ticket"

I had same reaction to "Roger Rabbit" and the first street car (bus to made to look like tolley). You could see the bus wheels between the tolley wheels.

Sherk ahd problems with feet and hands interacting with other objects. Most computer shots can be known by the way objects "touch" on another. It just looks wrong.

I'm a newspaper reporter from St. Paul, MN who is doing a story on the growth of movie downloading. I'd like to talk to you about your arguments against downloading the bootlegs. How does this hurt the efforts of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and groups like it? I can be reached at: 651-228-5475. We are on CDT. My e-mail is listed below but I would prefer a phone interview if that works for you. (I just find it quicker than e-mailing back and forth.) Full disclosure: I am contacting a variety of people on Slashdot about this issue, hoping to get a range of views. So my name will probably pop up elsewhere in this discussion.
