King Kong vs. Movie Pirates
Caoz writes "The New York Times is running an interesting article about movie piracy with Peter Jackson providing some comments. There a couple of comments that I thought were surprising. Like an executive admitting that file sharers are not the biggest threat to Hollywood. From the article: 'There is a very dark, black cloud in this game. It's not in the hands of kids who live next door to you; it's organized groups and organized crime.' Why are they suing bitorrent users then?"
This year, as with most, they also tied up the resources of the host city and state police forces (in this case, Worcester city and Massachusetts state police), shutting down the "counterfeit" sellers and seizing goods.
The host city Super Bowl XXXIX was Jacksonville, Florida. Thus it was the Jacksonville cops who helped U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement seize a bunch of fake Super Bowl schwag this year.
Perhaps you were thinking of the hometown of the Super Bowl champions, the New England Patriots. Unfortunately, they play in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
As for Worcester, it is pretty far down the list of potential Super Bowl sites.
