panic throughout the industry. “This is certainly a lesson for us all,” says Fox co-chairman Tom Rothman. “We, like everybody else, thought our system was secure.” Yet, on April 1, there it was: an unfinished version of the movie, available online a full month before its release date. (Since then, the file has been accessed 100,000 times, and the blogosphere buzz has been mixed at best.) Fox is working with the FBI to find the culprit — “Somebody’s going to end up in jail for a long time,” insists Rothman — but no arrests had been made as of press time. Hollywood bigwigs, who have taken their case for tougher antipiracy laws all the way to Congress, are certainly out for blood. “You have to find the [thief] and you’ve got to give him serious time,” says director Tony Scott (The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3). In fact, when he first heard of the theft, “I said, shoot him!” That harsh brand of justice has swept up those even tangentially involved in the scandal: Fox News columnist Roger Friedman was fired for downloading the movie and posting a positive review. When the smoke clears, what impact will any of this have on the movie’s box office haul? Hard to say. When Ang Lee’s Hulk was pirated in 2003, Universal Pictures claimed the theft — of a close-to-finished print — cost it $100 million. (That could have been posturing: The movie was also leveled by brutal reviews. Universal had no comment for this story.) At least one industry insider thinks the exposure may boost ticket sales. “Everyone was talking about Star Trek before this happened,” he notes. “Now everyone’s focused on Wolverine.” With additional reporting by Chris Nashawaty and Christine Spines (www.ew.com) The article explains that (Mackenzie 2010)

1. A) the criminal responsible for stealing a copy of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” before its release date is still at large.
2. B) “Wolverine” has been playing in American movie theaters since April 1, yet unfinished.
3. C) antipiracy laws in the US only punish people whose files have been accessed 100,000 times or more.
4. D) director Tony Scott has been accused of threatening columnist Roger Friedman and badmouthing him.
5. E) according to chairman Tom Rothman, the movie has been reviewed by a Fox News columnist, which made the film available online a month ahead of time.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa A

Resolução passo a passo

1. O texto trata do vazamento online, um mês antes da estreia, de uma versão inacabada do filme Wolverine (X-Men Origins: Wolverine). Diz que o FBI trabalha para encontrar o responsável e que, até o momento da publicação, nenhuma prisão tinha sido feita ("no arrests had been made as of press time").
2. A alternativa A afirma que o criminoso responsável pelo roubo de uma cópia do filme antes da data de lançamento continua foragido. Isso corresponde diretamente ao trecho "Fox is working with the FBI to find the culprit... but no arrests had been made as of press time". Portanto, A é a alternativa correta e coincide com o gabarito oficial.
3. Por que as outras estão erradas:
4. B) O texto diz que o filme foi vazado online, e não que está sendo exibido em cinemas americanos desde 1º de abril; além disso, a versão inacabada estava disponível na internet, não nas salas.
5. C) O texto menciona que os produtores de Hollywood levaram seu pedido por leis antipirataria mais duras ao Congresso, sem qualquer limite de 100.000 acessos como condição de punição; o número 100.000 se refere ao número de acessos ao arquivo vazado.
6. D) O texto diz que o diretor Tony Scott defendeu punição severa e disse "shoot him" ao saber do roubo, mas não há qualquer acusação de ameaça ou difamação contra o colunista Roger Friedman; quem foi demitido foi o colunista, por baixar o filme e publicar uma crítica positiva.
7. E) Quem fez a crítica positiva foi o colunista da Fox News, Roger Friedman, e não o filme ser "revisado" por ele causou a disponibilização; o texto não atribui essa causa a Tom Rothman, que apenas comentou o caso.

💡 Dica: Leia atentamente o texto para compreender o impacto da pirataria no setor cinematográfico.
