IOL: Eight charged over Star Wars pirate release
Eight people have been charged in the US in connection with the illegal release of the final Star Wars film before it appeared in cinemas.
Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was released online the day before its worldwide release in May.
The piracy allegedly began when a screener copy of the film was stolen from a post-production facility where one of them worked.
The eight defendants, all from California, were charged with copyright infringement and face up to a year in prison.
