Intro and Outro

Earlier this year, a Czech group, Pirat Party, launched a new website-- and it's one that's likely to infuriate film distributors. That's because it contains links to Hollywood blockbusters on popular file-sharing sites, and it’s different because they’re ranked both by download speed and also by how they’re ranked on established movie websites like imdb. The website was launched by the Czech Pirate Party as a direct response to the prosecution of a Czech teenager for launching a similar site earlier this year. Rob Cameron reports from Prague.
