Lowering the standard

A Hong Kong man has been convicted of movie internet piracy in what is believed to be the first case involving BitTorrent file-sharing software. Chan Nai-ming was found guilty of copyright infringement for distributing three Hollywood blockbusters using BitTorrent, said a court official.

He had been charged in April for uploading three films to the net - Daredevil, Red Planet and Miss Congeniality. The Hong Kong government said the case was its first successful action against people trying to release Daredevil surreptitiously.

"It is not acceptable behaviour to release this kind of material ever." Government spokesman Toby Wang continued "It's a piece of shit by-the-numbers movie, with that cunt in it. What's next? Affleck vanity projects Gigli or Jersey Girl? For the love of pissing christ no! This stops here."

Wang is currently uploading some kick-ass Bruce Lee flicks
