Are they Hosted Offshore? :p

Is what hosted offshore? The summary is that this Engadget editor was simply trying to download a movie (legitly, through iTunes) on his iPad to kill some time while waiting for his flight. Didn't manage to download the movie completely to watch it on time. Downloaded the full thing later on and decided to watch it on his big screen TV. That failed because of some lame copy protection scheme and he resorted in downloading a torrent version of the movie

Yeah but isnt it illegal to tell people about downloading torrents )
