FBI shut down website offering pirated Star Wars

A file sharing network known as Elite Torrents (try to click on it and see what is the message that will appear) has been permanently shut down for posting an illegal copy of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith before the movie officially opened in theatres last Thursday.

Those associated with the site were under criminal investigation.

This may be is an effective way to prohibit people from involving in pirated copies transactions since this can eliminate or reduce the criminal activities. Perhaps our government should try to amend this action to stop people from buying pirated copies.
