In addition, what's the big deal about screeners/prereleases? Sure it's illegal to record them in a movie, but what's the difference between that and uploading the DVD of that movie? Wouldn't companies monitor a certain DVD torrent uploaded by a popular user like axxo or maxspeed(maxspeedz) and "notify" all the peers? (Unless of course the movie industry would lose money due to those consumers that watch the screeners/prereleases rather than the real deal).
Also, mininova was sued/taken over so that site is now bogus.. well... in terms of downloading copyrighted files. Pirate Bay, since it's been taken over by some (I think Swedish) company, I avoid at all costs, despite having some peers when using trackers like isohunt (which I use rarely, only in worst case scenarios). I would think that after such a takeover, uploaders would avoid Pirate Bay, but I seem to be wrong. I don't know if they receive notices or not, but I would think that most of the community would be receiving frequent notices.
