9:54AM Clem Bastow | In the biggest “well duh” news since Shane Warne admitted he had a problem keeping it in his dacks, Justice Betty King’s Victorian
ban of Underbelly has been “ignored” by those meddling web pirates, who are busy
cruisin ur P2P networks, downloadin ur superior local drama.
The gangland series premiered last night everywhere but Victoria and our helpful interstate pals shameless copyright infringement fans wasted no time in uploading the goods.
By midnight Victorians were rushing to file sharing sites such as mininova and torrents2hell to download the first episode.
This morning over 600 people were already downloading the show from one site, but some users reported slow speeds due to the rush of people trying to obtain the file at the same time.
Some Victorian bars defied the ban in other ways by screening Underbelly via a satellite feed beamed from another state, risking being found in contempt of court.
It goes without saying, naturally, that we will be staying well clear of these “file-sharing sites” the youth of today frequent.
Anyway, we’re still trying to get used to having electricity and running hot water in our houses – when we were young, we had to lick road clean with tongue and work down t’ pit.
That were luxury!
