Though "Spider-Man" apparently is spinning an illicit web around the Internet, the young Obi-Wan Kenobi is nowhere to be seen. At least not by traders using the Kazaa peer-to-peer system to pirate the latest Hollywood flicks. Redshift Research has been monitoring new, popularly released films that are available for trade on Kazaa – currently the leading Napster heir. According to the company, founded by former Webnoize analyst Matt Bailey, the first working copy of the wallcrawler's mega-hit found its way onto Kazaa on May 12, nine days after it was released to theaters.

also from the article:

"We haven't been able to find any (copies), and we've downloaded probably six copies of files that claim to be 'Star Wars,'" Bailey said. He said that among those downloads, researchers found either blank files or copies of two completely unrelated movies, "Monsters Inc." and "Showtime."
I found it on KaZaa, its labeled " TMD Star Wars II Attack of the Clones part 1 of 2" and "2 of 2" The audio is a bit garbled for the first few minutes in each part and the darker scenes are harder to see, but overall, I was pleased.

To view it I needed to d/l MPEG4 V3 codecs which I found here http://www.undercut.org/msmpeg4/ you may need to install Japaneese fonts to view the page.

BTW Thanks to Malk and naz and pb8 for trying to help me the other day but mIRC is frustrating and evil. I always end up feeling like an stupid idiot after a session there.

BTW Glad you are still alive Walktalker.
