This CNN article talks about how 36 minutes of the seventh "Harry Potter" film has been leaked out online via torrents. This is just another way that technology can be used in negative ways. It is not right for people to do this because they are causing movie theaters and the production companies serious losses. The good thing for this case is that it was only 36 minutes so it does not really have the potential to cause any damage. I have used torrents to watch movies in the past but do not still currently do so. I have found that most of the movies are either terrible quality or leave me with some kind of virus on my computer. I urge people not to watch torrents and get out there and see the movie in the theater, the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that chooses not to use pirated copies. Good article.
