Del Oro Theatre: downtown Grass Valley, about 60 miles north of Sacramento, California.
That's where Star War fans noticed a man "aiming a camera" at the screen and notified the authorities. The man was
held and indicted for violating California Penal Code 653 (Z) which prohibits operating a recording device in a motion
picture theater without the proprietor's consent.

(Page 1)3. Why on earth do the MPAA, or anyone else for that matter, seem to think that p2p of ANY sort is the primary distribution channel for pirated content? Surely they're not so ignorant to realize that p2p is the absolute bottom of the barrel and completely last in line when it comes to distribution of illicit material. I imagine they just go after it because it is, as they say, wide open and they can nail the people hopping on it.
So when are we going to get a court case where it is determined that an IP address correllated with DHCP logs from an ISP is nothing more than circumstantial evidence? When are these things going to go to court and it be explained to a jury that wireless networks can be compromised, IP addresses and mac addresses can be spoofed, etc etc etc? I want to hurry up and get to the point where the movie industry is going after the right to kick in peoples doors and do equipment seizures to prove their case without having to bother with the pesky "laws."

4. I would have hated to have been the one to miss part of the movie notifying the authorities! There are always the bad apples.

1. What a moron. Plus there is already a decent copy of the movie already available via Bit Torrent.
