Pirataria. Porque não?
[Por um lado sinto-me impelido a dizer que a pirataria pode ser prejudicial para as artes. Mas na verdade penso que este tipo de pirataria não o é. Prejudica ligeiramente o negócio às empresas gigantescas que já ganham, mesmo assim, milhões e milhões. A pirataria surge, assim, em alguns aspectos e circunstâncias, como um meio que é ilegal, mas acaba por ser justo, já que o cinema, em particular, dá tanto dinheiro a ganhar a tanta gente - enormidades de dinheiro -, mesmo com a pirataria. Aliás, os filmes pirateados mesmo, são os mainstream, os mais comerciais. Para se achar um bom filme independente, menos divulgado, não há download ilegal que satisfaça, só comprando, e ainda bem! Um dilema, sem dúvida. Há algo em mim que vê o ilicito no que estas sete pessoas fizeram, mas a outra parte vê algo de positivo na atitude, e quase que apetece dizer: SOLTEM, OS PRISIONEIROS. PS: não, eu nunca saquei da net o filme de George Lucas, nem penso sequer em sacar.]
Seven admit copying Star Wars DVD
Seven Star Wars fans have admitted copying Revenge of the Sith a week before its cinema release. They admitted piracy charges after copying and passing a DVD copy of the movie among them last May.
The six US men and one woman also pleaded guilty to criminal conduct in allowing an eighth person to obtain the film and upload it onto the internet. They each face a maximum penalty of a $100,000 (£56,000) fine and one year in jail when sentenced on 12 April.
Copyright law
Prosecutors said 28-year-old Albert Valente took a copy of George Lucas's final Star Wars movie from a post-production facility in Los Angeles last May.
It was then passed to Jessie Lumada, 28, Ramon Valdez, 30, Michael Fousse, 42, Dwight Wayne Sityar, 27, Stephani Gima, 25, and Joel De Sagun Dimaano, 33. All seven are from Los Angeles County. Mr Dimaano then passed a copy to work colleague Marc Hoaglin, 28, from Huntington Beach, who last month admitted putting a copy on the internet.
Revenge of the Sith took $848.5m (£474.6m) at the global box office.
