![]() ![]() Movie industry executives say this latest example of online piracy is just another reason why they hope Congress will pass new copyright protection laws to help them combat what they call a clear and present danger to their livelihoods. Thus there was little surprise when a downloadable copy of "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones," apparently shot clandestinely with a digital video camera at a preview, appeared on the Internet last Thursday. And online file traders are already on the lookout for "Men in Black II," due in the theaters on July 3. "Spider-Man," for example, was posted online before the film's first record- breaking opening weekend was done. Although Hollywood would still cast Netter as a thief, that's not stopping him - nor a small but growing group of downloaders - from turning to the Internet to check out the latest flicks, even movies that haven't yet premiered.
