The Two Towers Hits the Net

tfreport writes "The Drudge Report is reporting that The Two Towers has already began to be file swapped online. This is four months before the movie is set to debut! An executive in New York promised if this is indeed part of the film that they would be punishing anyone and everyone that downloads the film or distributes it to the full extent of the law."

    no - I never download movies, but my friend does.

    He's told me that he's frequently downloaded 600 meg+ files only to find one or more of these :-

    * there's a logo on screen all through the movie
    * the sound is of really poor quality or mono
    * the movie looks like it was recorded in the movie house (shakey-cam)
    * it's a really bad DVD rip by some lamer
    * the codec quality is set so low, everythings blurry

    Now, personally, I don't download movies, as I've said, however, I do own a few DVD movies or rent them and watch them on my PC - in Linux, using mplayer, with sound through my hi-fi and it rocks.

    So yes, I have watched a lot of movies on my PC.

    I'm an hour away from finishing downloading it, please stand by... Found on WinMX, and comes roughly to 1 Gb in size...

    Just because you can mod me down, doesn't mean you're right. Shoes for industry!

    The only copy I found turned out to be a fake (Spider Man screener)... Judging from the number of similarly sized videos on WinMX, I'd have to concur that it's most likely a hoax...
