FBI Finally Arrests Alleged ''Wolverine'' Uploader

[Sicundercover]

[citation][nom]captaincharisma[/nom]this guy was a freakin idiot. the version he had was not even finished yet. it was a copy of the movie that had the special effects missing which im sure the movie didn't even make any sense without them. so he just uploaded a crappy version of a mediocre movie.[/citation]

Its called a workprint which are due at certain deadlines to show the producers how far along you are.

NOTE: This guy wasnt on the production team and therefore couldnt be the source. Only someone from the inside could have leaked this. The only thing this man did was push a few positive and negatively charged particles down a copper wire. The only crime here is that someone violated their contracted by removing company property off the premises and that person should face those charges.

How exactly do they prove profit loss? They can prove that so many people downloaded it, but thats not proof of profit loss..

Simple they take how many times the download movie was seen, "seen 4.1 million times" then they multiply that by the $10 or more stupid outrageous, money grubbing price they charged for such a piece of crab and there you go. Of course the law may have stipulations that state, based on the charges, the amount they can actually get. Or at least this is the most logical way I can come up with to answer your question, but please do not take it as fact. After all we are dealing with some of the most illogical people in the business.

I am sure the unfinished version of a film was not copyrighted yet. Thus not copyright protection. Thus no law prevents him from sharing any copies. Thus he did not break the law.

Free Gilbert! - T-shirts coming soon. I see gilberts face with wolverine's blades bearing down on him from behind.

Who knew? Gilly might've been skilled, but he had horrible taste in movies.

First off they have the wrong guy, he's just the first person they were accidentally able to track. Unless SillyGilly is some hacker genius that broke into the studio servers (doubt it, see megaupload), Gilly simply got a copy like everyone during that period and simply wanted to share it with his friends and used a public transport to do so leaving himself wide open with a IP trail. The fact that the FBI, unless it was funded by the studio, spent any amount resource on this is more of crime then the crime itself.

...and this is why it is a bad idea to not proxy your uploads on the net. plus lol @ his silly nicknames. probably another one of those arrogant pirates from irc.
