LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mel Gibson's film distribution company is suing a Hollywood post-production facility where three former employees allegedly made pre-release copies of ``The Passion of the Christ.''
Icon Distribution, Inc. alleges in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court here on Thursday that Lightning Media was responsible for the actions of its employees. Icon seeks more than $150,000 dollars in damages and an order barring Lightning and its workers from copying or distributing the film.
Three former employees of the Los Angeles-based post-production facility were charged Feb. 11 with misdemeanor counts of conspiring to violate federal copyright laws. Authorities said they copied the film for personal use and for friends, and not for profit. They each face a maximum of a year in jail if convicted.
U.S. attorney's spokesman Thom Mrozek said Friday that there is no evidence suggesting Lightning Media was aware of any illegal copying at its facilities.
Lightning Media said it had not yet been notified about the Icon lawsuit, but Chief Executive Officer Stephen Buchbaum said the company had cooperated fully with the federal investigators.
``When the FBI determined it may have been one or more employees from Lightning, we opened up the doors to them,'' he said.
The California residents charged in the case are Frank Pelayo Jr., 23, of Burbank; Richard Young, 42, of Northridge; and Victor Ochoa, 31, of Reseda.
Authorities said they were arrested after the FBI traced a three-minute segment of ``Passion'' that they had found on the Internet, as well as a complete tape of the film that had been obtained by the New York Post, to the men's former employer, Lightning Dubbs. The company is now known as Lightning Media.

My heart breaks in pieces the way Jesus was treated....It like the worst Horror I ever saw the way Jesus die. It Made me Do A lots of Thinking about God and Jesus.. If you saw the Movie It brought in a lot to ur heart.. like it did to me...

movie..
I dont know what to say... But this movie is the most real thing that Ive ever seen in my life! I think the movie made my faith for god grow even 100 times more! It was so awe inspiring on how brave Jesus was and how determinded he was in his faith... Hes my hero! But the only thing that creeped me out when I was watching that movie was death walking around with the infant.. Jeez... It was weird... I think the other worse thing was when he was getting beaten and nailed to the cross... I was crying so hard because when i was watching it, I felt his pain... I strongly reccomend everyone to see it, itll teach you a lesson about life.. It sure did for me.. Thats all I want to say about it..

Well, I finally saw the movie recently. I watched it at 12:45 am with my friends. It seemed like a long movie. They had a lot of questions about what was really going on, and I had to keep clarifying that the movie is showing the Bible from their point of view. Remember, the Bible is just one big story. No one knows about what's happened in the Bible. There is no reference or evidence to point out the truth in the Bible. In other words, the Bible is a "work of fiction"... until proven otherwise. It was a good movie though. However, it's not something I would be interested in buying on DVD in the future.

I can image how you feel.Hi Angel & Cheri
I image myself how you both feeling because I´m too softie like you... I wept easy when I watch sad movies BUT I would like to know either they have subtitles there or not? Because I know that cinema don´t have subtitles around here.
Is it suitable for the children to watch?
I heard about this & want to see it one day. Unfortunalately I have to wait next few years because the Europe are last to get any movies from America...

Yeah, I know because it´s the same with my sons, too. BOYS!!!!
I know it must be painful for Jesus because of nail on his hand & feet... I would like to see it one day...
Is it no subtitles at cinema (movies) to make you understand what they talk about...?
DVD with subtiles or TV with subtitles but cinema? That´s why I´m wondering either they have cinema with subtitles in your country? Because we don´t have cinema with subtitles here but TV & DVD which it´s good for Deafie to understand what they talk & why etc.
True, I can image the movies are much better than read the bibles.
