Hood's Headaches

An unfinished "workprint" version of South African director Gavin Hood's next movie "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" has been leaked onto the BitTorrent file-sharing network,where it has already been downloaded more than 75,000 times. The video file is reportedly of high audio and video quality, but does not contain any of the special effects from the film, which is not due for release until May 1.

In the USA, the penalty for "pre-release" piracy of copyrighted content, under the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2004, is up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
