Movie industry to move online to beat pirates

[Kev]

The film industry is working to launch online movie download services to avoid the same fate as the piracy-ridden music industry, NBC Universal Chairman and Chief Executive Bob Wright said on Tuesday.

Movies are increasingly vulnerable to online piracy due to the spread of high-speed Internet connections and file-sharing technologies like BitTorrent. Eight people were charged last week for stealing a copy of "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" and posting it online before the movie appeared in theatres.

Will it solve the problem? Given that portable storage and media devices are out there, maybe this is the step in the right direction.

They'll just find another site to get them off for free when one closes though.
