How stupid. She won't get convicted.
BTW, she has quite an attractive face. :thumbup:
Just sheer idiocy.
I see she was banned for life from the theater. I suppose that is good, since it is evidently run by morons. Did they really think that she could have profited from a fuzzy 20 second clip made from a digital camera?

You're right trekgeezer. :thumbup: for you. But, so-oh DUMB. :lookingup:
Yep they were right in prosecueting her she could have sold that 20 second clip for hundreds on the black market. :smile:
This is another reason why I do not go to the movies anymore. That and the fact that it is expensive anymore to go. People are stupid. Did they think she would cause a major rip in the cash flow to society by filming 20 seconds on film.

It only took the 30-second TV spot to convince me
not to see the movie. She could have cost the producers billions.
A lot of the films shown in SA, especially the new releases, are screened on DVD or digital videotape and it is very easy for some cinema managers to make copies of the films, so the public should not be targeted, I feel.

They really made a mountain out of a mole hill over this: seeing as it was The Washington Post that carried this story, I'm surprised that Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward didn't write the story. :teddyr:
