You do realise the salary listed is in POUNDS not DOLLARS?? Converted to USD is more like $30,000 – not overly shabby for an INTERNSHIP… most pay a lot less than that!

As appalling as it is, that kind of money will no doubt attract those IT-kids who happily file-share but are not that strong in the whole p2p/bit-torrent ethos (let’s face it, how many Gen-Y’ers have an attention span greater than that of a sand-fly??)

@113 – you do realise that America has one of the LOWEST average IT-Literacy rates in the developed world? Stop throwing stones… that glass house of yours would likely crash down around your ears via the return volley!!

Ironically, if Warner Brothers and the MAFIAA actually does get a bunch of mildly retarded British IT kids to do this, they’ll be losing more money than if they just let people torrent this stuff. But then again, in the MAFIAA world, a $30 movie is a multi-million dollar lawsuit.
