Czech Pirate Party launches unauthorized movie download site

Now some hackers, as you might know, are members of the Pirate Party. That's a quasi-libertarian digital rights party that started in Sweden a few years back and has since spread to various parts of the world.

Last month, a new website in the Czech Republic launched -- 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.
