The First HD DVD Movie Hits BitTorrent

Posted by kdawson on from the nailing-jello-to-a-tree dept.

Ars Technica reports that the first HD DVD movie has made its way onto BitTorrent, showing that current DRM efforts to prevent illegal sharing of copyrighted content are still futile and fighting an uphill battle. From the article: "The pirates of the world have fired another salvo in their ongoing war with copy protection schemes with the first release of the first full-resolution rip of an HD DVD movie on BitTorrent. The movie, Serenity, was made available as a .EVO file and is playable on most DVD playback software packages such as PowerDVD. The file was encoded in MPEG-4 VC-1 and the resulting file size was a hefty 19.6 GB."

      It's better to prevent it from getting there.

      I usually aim for my chest, and take a bath after.

      That's the way I do it too. It's so fucking hot feeling your own cum shoot out onto your chest. Lying on my back, I hit my open mouth once before, on accident, but I just went with it and swallowed.

    Didn't this happen a few or more days ago? Keep up slashdot!

    Also: surely 19GB, currently, is far too big to be handy for most people.
