Here's a better fleshed out story about what the over reach was about...
Wolverine film hijacked - News & Gossip, Entertainment - Independent.ie

Quote:
The fourth installment in the X-Men series -- X-Men Origins: Wolverine -- starring Hugh Jackman was leaked onto the internet via BitTorrent networks in a DVD-quality, full-length and unfinished state last Wednesday, a full month before official release.... 20th Century Fox were understandably in a bit of a tiz that their estimated $130m (€98m) summer flick was now publicly available and issued a war-cry statement saying that the source of the leak "will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law". They proceeded to get the FBI involved to help find the source.

Big time, and this is just a presumption that the two incidents are linked. This could be two separate cases. I hope they're back and running, and I wish there were justice in the world to hold irresponsible legislators writing crappy law to suffer monetary damages.
