The itsy bitsy blockbuster, which opened this past weekend, is already turning into Internet booty, as pirates armed with cameras hit the high cinemas. It's just like that "Seinfeld" episode -- flick filchers simply sneak videocameras into theaters and let the tapes roll. Pirated copies of "Spiderman" have been weaving their way to the Internet file trading posts of EDonkey, Kazaa and Morpheus. Freeloading downloaders might be better off just going to the theater -- some copies of the film are more than 2 gigabytes.
