Arrest in Caridi FBI Investigation
skillio writes "The FBI arrested one Russell Sprague in Illinois on Thursday in connection with the previously reported Carmine Caridi dvd screener leak investigation. Given the FBI's figure of up to 60 screeners a year provided by Caridi, and Sprague's clearly sophisticated setup, one can't help but wonder if this will prove to be the main, if not sole, source of these dvd screener leaks. Caridi has yet to be charged, but after he's admitted to supplying Sprague with screeners for the last 3-5 years, I highly doubt his innocence will remain unchallenged for very long."
So, uh, where might these screeners be released on the internet?
We have a right to examine the evidence, right?
If my name was Russell Sprague, I'd be relieved they were only arresting one of them. Headlines announcing mass Sprague purges would frighten and alarm me.
FBI Agent 1: Hey, I've got some evidence here that a massive terrorist attack is going to take place at...
FBI Agent 2: Not now! We've got to stop those damn dirty stinkin' hippie copyright infringers! To the FBImobile!

Can you drop the fucking make-believe-land movie crap and go after those real-life terrorists instead?
And see if you can get back my VCR and tape collection from the guy who burglarized my house.

Yes, this Caridi guy was the sole source. Guess you can stop looking! Right, everyone?

If they said they were arresting "one CarrotTop" I would be concerned that there might be more than one of him!
Yeah! I for one am sick and tired of seeing major Hollywod studios go out of business! Oh, if only people had watched 'Cheaper by the Dozen' In theaters instead of pirating it to realize it was terrible! Why! If only they were able to profit in some way from these movies somehow!
