Senate Unanimously Passes Anti-Camcorder Bill

jamonterrell writes "The US Senate just unanimously passed a bill allowing the criminal prosecution of recording movies with a camcorder in theatres. Victims of the new bill would face 3 years in prison on first offense (5 if it was done for profit), repeat offenders would get 10 years. As a side note, it will cost taxpayers an additional 5 million dollars per year through 2009 for enforcement." Several states have made recording in theaters a crime, although none of them have penalties nearly as harsh as this Senate bill.

Fucking pigs gone too far

Ok now its fucking gone too far. We simply have to protest this, mass protest is the only way - get everyone you know to get everyone they know to bring camcorders to every movie they see - if the cinema staff try to stop you going in: push them out of the way, or even beat them to the ground, assult isnt exactly going to get you into much trouble anymore!

Fuck them, enough is enough.
