The Pirate Bay Takes Over Oscar
The PirateBay.org, one of the top Bit Torrent web sites, takes aim at the major Hollywood studios with the Oscar Torrents web site. OscarTorrents.com demonstrates that file sharers are indeed among the entertainment industry's best fans. The site offers descriptions, ratings, and torrent files for movies nominated for the Academy Awards. The torrents can be opened by any Bit Torrent-supporting software to download the associated movies. Downloading and sharing such movies is considered illegal in the U.S. and many countries.
The site provides the following disclaimer with spelling errors preserved:
OSCARTORRENTS®, and the OSCAR THE PIRATE® statuette design mark are the unregistered marks of no one in particular. No ©2007. Nothing to do with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences & ABC, Inc. All Rights Reversed. The Official oscars is a sham produced by villiains in partnership with the cult of celebrity. By accessing this site you're probably comitting a felony somewhere — but let your own idea of what is right and wrong be your guide.
