A syndney man who upload Simpsons Movie on internet after recording on his cellphone was fined. He had a pirate copy of “ The Simpons Movie.” The man was fined with 1000 Australian dollars ( Cdn$857) by the court today for breaching copy right. An international operation involving Australian Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.'s Fox movie studios, and it had the right to the blockbuster and tracked unauthorized copy to Jose Duarte’s home, 21. He was also arrested in August. Prosecutor Chuan Ng said that in few hours people downloaded 3,213 times when it was available in the internet. Duarte’s lawyer said Duarte tried twice to upload movie in July 26 which was the release date and he upload ahead of the time when the movie was showed to rest of the world. Duarte thought he wasn’t able to up upload ahead but he was able to. The lawyer Stewart said “It would appear that this young man had the sophistication of a dead fish and he had no idea what he was doing.” Duarte was charge with the charge of distribution of copyright movie.
In my opinion, the man who tracked Simpsons movie was wrong. I believe uploading up earlier than showing up in the theatre will cause a huge problem. Not only it would reduce viewers of move “ Simpsons movie” but also the man would receive many charge that is followed by the distribution of copyright movie. Even though, it doesn’t apply to Australia. In Canada, The Canadian Charter of Rights and freedom states that The Canadian copyright act.
