    Unless there is a North Korean working at Sony Studios. These are more than likely advanced screener videos for critics and award purposes that have been leaked out by staff themselves and found their way into the wrong hands.

    It’s actually not (unless they’ve changed the law in the last two years), I checked with INFACT who are in charge of copyright infringement in late 2011.

    It’s illegal to download audio (music), however it’s not illegal to download video as long as you don’t distribute it (seed torrents, sharing, burning disks etc).

    Personal use is totally legitimate as long as no distribution occurs.
