"A quick search on Mininova or BTJunkie returns a huge list of every video found on Usenet, plus dozens more and growing hourly. Beyond public trackers, I've seen extensive activity on several private communities. On one of them, its members compiled a list of every event and were slowly adding their own recordings to create a massive archive of Olympics video.
"And this is only Day 4! It'll be interesting to see how much of the Olympics was captured, digitized, and uploaded by the end of the games.
"Also interesting: If this chart from Mark Ghunheim is accurate, the thirst for pirated Olympics coverage is greatest in China."
