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."

    Hundreds of people have put tens of thousands of hours into making a truly great picture, and the notion of having it stolen and sent out for free around the world is just plain wrong," said Jeff Blake, vice chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

    Withholding art from people who can not afford to see it or are not allowed to see it is just plain wrong.

    Thou shalt not get caught.

    I have no problem with kids trying to fuck the system. Hollywood is a corrupt, over-priced, organized-crime-under-written, drug-fueled, Zionist-owned source of 95% crap movies. They don't deserve anything.

    It gives me the warm tinglies to think that there are still kids out there willing and able to thumb their noses at the establishment, which is trying to subdue them with Anti-depressants, poisonous food, mind-programming out the wazoo, and the glorious prospect of adulthood slavery.

    If you weren't rebellious when you were young, then you might as well have been dead. 'Good' kids were boring, dense and dull-witted, and what little sparkle of life they may have had is generally erased by the System as they grow up. Kids are not designed to sit quietly in rows and ignore their impulses to explore and push boundaries set by bitter old farts.

    But I'm betting that you probably did bend the rules for yourself when you were fifteen. And good for you, if you did!
