Like most other technical fields (medical not withstanding), there's been major advancements in the forensics field which have definitly made it easier for law enforcement to figure out "whodunit".

But possibly even more so seems to be the fact that many criminals are thankfully too stupid to keep their actions to themselves. They either have an accomplise that manages to get them caught, or worse yet, they feel some compulory urge to brag about their crime to someone who ultimately ends up ratting them out.

It's generally believed that the juveniles and hackers are getting caught because they're bragging, because they're boasting about it, whereas the more serious criminal is not, and hence is much more difficult to catch. Is that still the case?

I think we have seen a number of instances where hackers have been caught in part because they bragged about their exploits in chat rooms.

Also, is this some kind of reverse bragging? A competition to find out who's too poor to even go to the cinema for the biggest film of the quarter?

I feel sure everyone who downloads knows this kind of stuff already without being told and those that can afford the cinema just go to the cinema.

On the subject of the film:

Good film, but seriously, you could shave half an hour off it just by snipping one second from before and after every scene. The editor seemed very lax by professional standards. It was almost lax enough to spoil the film, but not quite, still quite an enjoyable romp, at least once you'd ploughed through the first half an hour.
