Film Industry Suing Computer Users

Well, this is big: taking a cue from the music industry, Hollywood is now planning to sue computer users they say are illegally distributing movies online over P2P…

The movie studios were still finalizing how many lawsuits would make up their initial filing, but it would probably be around 200 or so…

MPAA CEO Dan Glickman would be making “a major announcement regarding illegal file sharing of motion pictures on peer-to-peer networks” early Thursday…

This should be interesting: the Hollywood digerati are gathering tomorrow at the Billboard Digital Entertainment Conference…should be interesting to take the pulse there…I’ll be there and file some reports on this…

Another thing: one word: BitTorrent
