Night Goggles Capture Spider-Man Movie Bootlegger

Posted by simoniker on from the or-should-that-be-web? dept.

linuxwrangler writes "According to SFGate.com/AP, a teen has been arrested for attempting to bootleg the Spider-Man 2 movie, after a projectionist using night-vision goggles spotted him. The teen was escorted from the theater by security guards and turned over to police. This may be the first arrest stemming from the use of NV goggles that were previously mentioned on Slashdot."

    The article cites night vision goggles, but you all know his spider sense was tingling :-)

    I think to keep in the spirit, he should have donned a spidey outfit, and swung down from his little window to catch the guy.

    Required reference: The Little Kicks - Seinfeld bootlegs a movie :-)

    Thank you Homeland Security, thank you FBI, thank you ATF. Thank god that the terrible scourge that is badly copied movies is finally getting the priority attention it deserves. But curses Night Vision Goggles, now I can't take a woman into the movies to just make out without every night vision goggled attendant busting me. I'm conflicted here.

    Ya but the guy working at the movie theater can finally feel like he looked cool wearing the night vision goggles.

    It's worth it, if only to keep a crappy copy of a movie out of circulation, complete with coughing, laughing, and a fratboy constantly getting into frame as he gets up to piss every 30 minutes from the beer he smuggled in to the theater.

    Between not having them jab a spike into your balls, and making the jerk who wants to do that feel like he's bad at torture, you go with making the guy feel bad.

    Okay, next time I get tortured, I'll give them your name.
