first time i've heard of someone actually getting caught.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headli...nt/4946043.html QUOTE A criminal complaint accuses Kalidou Diallo of slipping a video recorder, video player and remote control into a sneak preview of the film at a Bronx theater on Monday night. "This is the first time someone has been arrested and charged with the new illegal camcording law," City Hall spokesman Jason Post said Thursday. In May, Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed legislation that upgraded film piracy from a violation with a $250 fine to a misdemeanor that carries up to six months in jail and penalties of up to $5,000. QUOTE Pirated movies cost major U.S. film studios more than $6 billion in 2005, according to the trade association. A study by the group showed that the New York movie industry loses an estimated $1.5 billion a year because of piracy yeah f'n right. I'd like to see where the hell they came up with 1.5 billion. most people would have no clue how to get a pirated film. for easy numbers lets say each person spends $20 at the theater. they're saying there's 75,000,000 less customers per year in new york alone because of piracy?? I call major BS. |

I saw screeners back when I first started as a freshman, but then I was introduced to SVCD and never took anything less again. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?
