Although pirated copies of the Baz Luhrmann epic Australia have been available on numerous BitTorrent sites since the film premiered last month, few people have bothered to download them, the U.K. tech site The Inquirer reported Tuesday. "There are several copies out there but all but one have no more than ten seeds," the website said. It blamed the "bum-numbing" length of the film (nearly three hours), the picture quality, and the fact that reviews of the movie were "so bad no self-respecting pirate would want a copy." »
