Bit Torrent Star Wars Movie Drama

Star_wars_3_1U.S. law enforcers (FBI) have shut down a computer network that distributed illegal downloads of "Star Wars Episode lll - Revenge of the Sith" movie. They seized the main server computer that made it possible for people to download close to 18,000 movies and software programs, including the newest episode of the Star Wars saga. The download site used Bit Torrent which makes it easier to transfer digital movies and files. The Star Wars movie was available on the network six hours before it hit the theaters, and was copied 10,000 times in 24 hours.  BitTorrent creator Bram Cohen announced plans for a Torrent Search Engine, which should really make Hollywood happy.
