Where else is happened that a company approached a thief offering them the good they wish to steal?

Of course, on the Internet, because there is no phisical good.

Miramax will win the trust of the reader of twitters, and of the various articles about what happened.

It will remember that companies are watching who’s downloading pirated movies, even tho they are kinda flexible about this.

It will also tell the internet users to not brag all around about torrents. Wanna watch a movie, you can download it, if you like it go to the cinema and watch it in a decent way, or just delete the “movie” (which is always downgraded, so not subject to copyright) off your hard disk.

But don’t brag too much about torrents and filesharing.
