California Makes Recording in Cinema a Crime

Maharet writes "According to this article in the Sacramento Bee, recording devices will be outlawed and you will be able to make a citizen's arrest if you observe someone recording a movie. I don't advocate piracy, but this just looks to me like industry pressure (although the MPAA, et. al. are not mentioned). What if my cellphone has a camera? My favorite quote from an LA city attorney: 'If you carry one of these into a movie theater, you have to ask yourself, "Do I feel lucky?"'"

    I dont think this is a troll. Some of us do not have want or need of a cellphone or page. What right do you have to interupt a movie that I paid admission to with your god dam ring tone? NONE. oh and BTW please STFU too. I did not pay to hear about your antics lastnight.

    This is why ... I like to watch my HTS.

    At the risk of not getting the joke. If they're trying to arrest you, they're a citizen. The homies just stab or blast you. Eh cholo.
