This is the most extreme i could ever picture someone going through to prevent pirates from bootlegging a film.

Governments often have a shoot-to-kill policy for looters. The MPAA is pretty soft by comparison.

Are you saying we should be thankful the MPAA is not shooting us?

@Signa

I dunno they pretty well own the US government… they can put WTO sanctions on Sweden and China after all.

And for what it’s worth this is exactly the sort of invasion of privacy they’ve been engaging in carefully avoiding the legal minefield that they helped to create.

Watch this will go to court….of that I am sure.

Someone could ask a judge what right doesthe MPAA have for watching a crowd because they THINK (not prove) there COULD be piracy.

I simply see this as an invasion of privacy. There is absolutely NO WAY I would pay money and have someone “watch” me the whole time I am in the theatere. This is not 1984 and the MPAA are not Big Brother….no matter how much they want to be. I am sure that this could be stopped with a court order.
