First it's "SMC" (aquiring@hotmail.com) who downloads an altered copy of J&SB off the internet. Now I find there's some scummy little twerp who has hijacked the domain name http://www.jayandsilentbob.com - try it, you'll probably be as pissed as I was.
Apparently Kevin already knows about this, or at least Miramax does, because the thief claims to have received a letter from their lawyers to quit using the URL. I hope the next thing he receives is a subpoena.
I won't go on about his website - look at it if you must and judge for yourself. To me he is just the kind of internet wanna-be that Jay And Silent Bob strike back against in the movie. The important thing is, what the hell is wrong with some people? Does anyone out there understand the concept of property rights? Downloading a movie off the net or hijacking the title of that movie for a URL isn't just criminal, it is *WRONG* in the truest, moral sense of the word.
BTW posting a message that you copied a man's intellectual property on his very own website, or stealing his film title for a URL and expecting to keep it, also proves you're a *FUCKING IDIOT*.
