Eight Charged in Episode III Early Release

ewhac writes "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."

Leaking Star Wars? What farking losers... by xxxJonBoyxxx · 2005-09-28 08:37 · Score: 0, Troll

Leaking Star Wars 3/6/whatever? What farking losers. Now if they can get an advance copy of BSG season 3, I'd pay for that.
