Night Goggles Capture Spider-Man Movie Bootlegger

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."

This is such a waste of resources. We all know the bootlegs spreading across the internet are not from TEENAGERS HOLDING A CRAP CAMERA. They are going after the wrong sources if they think that will slow down net piracy.

There is currently 2 captures of spider-man 2 already released by vcd groups. One is a very good quality I might add by VideoCD - they do awesome rips :)

All in All, it's just a huge wasted effort because the copies spreading around the net, usually don't even originate from u.s. theaters. I know VideoCD gets most their caps in france.

You're in a public place, you have no privacy.

Of course! We have no privacy in a public place. How could I be so stupid?!

Now that we've cleared that up, I would like to hire you to install a "surveilance" camera in the Women's restroom... No privacy in a public place, right?

Okay, time to change my sig. I'm getting damn tired of all the know-nothings on /. that are absolutely CERTAIN that their misconceptions are irrefutable facts...
