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."
Telesyncs Are Cams, Stupid.
If I would have been working door (the ushers) the night one of our projectionists spotted him, I probably would have beat him senseless with my broom. Heh, maybe that's just how we handle things at Mount Berry Square Theaters...

Are you sure you're not still in high school?
Withholding art from people who can not afford to see it or are not allowed to see it is just plain wrong.
yeah worth to see how many lies and deceptions he can pound into whatever length movie it is.
Judging by your comment... you must be 16 years old. And stupid. But I'll excuse you.
I work for a movie theater. I busted four guys for using camcorders last month. Yesterday I got a check for $2,000. Doesn't look like they're "reneging" on me.

I'm not Seth Finkelstein. I still speak the truth.
Am I the first to say? In Soviet Russia the theathers watch you! Now that im a legal adult i could get into big problems but if i were underaged this could be a big adventure. A nerdy adventure none the less but still cool: Night Vision Goggles, IR flooding, IR blindspots! This is like reality hacking, get a team of friends with strong IR bulbs and spread over the audience, then the whole place is a blind spot!, what about disabling the protectionist using a small EMP? or radio noise... its good for your imagination
But... the future refused to change.
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!
