An epidemic in illegal downloading

The Sydney Morning Herald in a six page article on the popularity of illegal file sharing.

"... File-sharing is no longer just in the realm of frustrated Star Trek fans, with almost every television show that screens in the US or Britain available online within 24 hours at DVD quality or better. Movies are also ften available before they even open in the cinemas.

In Australia, Nine's real-life crime series Underbelly created an online frenzy after a court order banned its screening in Victoria. The entire series was available online before it even finished screening in the rest of the country, with Nine powerless to intervene."
