Piracy Site Offers Film for Tsunami Aid

 

A group has appeared on the internet calling themselves "Tsunami-Appeal". They offer the film "The Aviator" in a DVD Screener version in exchange for a donation for tsunami victims.

XDCC distribution, P2P networks and larger BitTorrent sites are also offering the film, but the Tsunami-Appeal version comes with a message in the nfo file telling people to donate.

The nfo file reads: "Ok we bring you this nice movie in superb quality but if you download and watch it you must donate some money to the Unfortunate victims of the Tragedy in Asia...."
