Five Year's Jail For Camcorders In Cinema

You guys and gals with cams beware:

Holidaymakers - think again before bringing your camcorder into a US cinema. If your fumbling with the battery is misconstrued as an attempt to film what's on the screen, it could land you with a five jail term under a bill proposed by two US Senators yesterday.

Senators Dianne Feinstein and John Cornyn who announced the bill today, want to punish the use or an attempt to use a video recorder in a movie theatre with a custodial sentence. That's even if you have no made no attempt, nor even have any intent to publish your footage. Anyone caught doing so faces the same five year jail sentence, even if no infringement has taken place. A second offence raises the maximum term to ten years. The bill also proposes a scale of new fines, allowing the Motion Picture Association of America the same armory as the RIAA.

I think alot of camers and release groups are NOT in the US, so this again is useless to stop anything and will only cause more irritation and crap publicity to the population at large, especially if anyone is actually charged with this utter crap...

EDIT: FK these two idiots

We all know Dianne is fkin idiot already, brown nosing the big pocket again...

EDIT AGAIN: Comical, as I was just saying

With the Senate wrapping up for the year, it's unlikely to be passed. The former Mayor of San Francisco, Feinstein received $242,066 from the entertainment industry in her most recent Senate race, making her the pigopolists third favorite Senator, after Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

Thats corpoarte USA for you, if that happened in the UK it would mean certain dismissal.
Very ammusing to watch corporations throwing their money at politicians to swing the vote their way.
But they will never win, most cams are made in Asia.

No...

some americans are really crazy, stupid in some ways - sorry to say that but it is so - and extraordinary:

just have a look:

~ some americans put their animals in microwave
~ there is a law that forbids young people and older people to love
each other, man this outdated&#33;&#33;&#33; I know protecting children is important,
but do not take it to high... If two people love each other...
man... my god... Mary Letarnou or so, she is still in jail... my god...
~old people and very young are sued of filesharing... that is
so funny and crazy, and SAD SAD SAD&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
~ and now in cinema, man.. man...

By the way not all people in america are so, but some are so, other
are opened ;)

Guys, london is still my favorite city due to its wonderful and opened atmosphere between people...

~nice dreams...

No one would really recognize if someone has a small camera in the
cinema - and it would not disturb me if it is quiet ...

And Quality is not the best :(
but if some want to do it - do it ;)

I really can imagine it like on airports - high security at each cinema scanning
your stuff and you for video cameras... man, this crazy and it useless time -
thie TIME COULD BE SPENT FOR FINDING REAL CRIMINALS&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;


PLEASE YOU ALL WHO ARE THINKING LIKE THIS - I do not charge anyone
cause you are just humans as well unf. - BUT PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE SENSE
OF IT ALL&#33;&#33;&#33;
thanks...

~ :huh: Where the hell did you hear that? An urban legend about an old woman who microwaved her cat to dry her off? ;)

~Well that law could use reform but being protected from sexual predators important too. In America, any sex thats not between a married man and woman used for making babies is EVIL&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; :ph34r:

~Ah the old woman who downloaded 2000 rap songs in a month or whatever it was. :P Oh yeah like has any believability to it. :rolleyes: Well the RIAA are breaking more laws then the file-swappers are.

i think he/she was talking about the grandmas and grandpas who have music on their pcs, when they don&#39;t dl. it&#39;s their grandchildren that put stuff on their comp, and share them. lol. i read some articles on LA Times about this

another thing bout cams. when we were noobs, long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, we went on kazaa, and dled the one with the most sharers, or the tmd moviez ones. now, that we&#39;ve evolved into super pirates, those tmd&#39;s are discarded, and more noobs dl them. if they r puting people in jail, then tmd might not exist, unless the operate in another country, i&#39;m not sure. but tmd and cams are always there for the noobs, until they evolve

Wow, that must be a great personal achievement, nobody cares. That banner usually is incorrect if you&#39;re behind a router, or something similar.

They are definitely cracking down on the phenomenon. I can attest to that with a harrowing first-hand account.
I won&#39;t go into all the lurid details, but I narrowly escape imprisonment by explaining that it was NOT a camcorder, but rather a video
retransmitting device for the visually impaired. They didn&#39;t quite believe me, but I showed them my insurance card and flashed
a generic photocopied legal-looking document at the man that I keep in my wallet for just such an occasion.
He still wasn&#39;t quite satisfied, but once I showed him how he could save tens of dollars a year by simply selling pre-torn tickets,
he decided to let me go.
I start work next Wednesday.

*** to the sex issue:

I also do not love to see people naked on the beach everytime, but I say it
openly, and if it is not a problem for them - means: if two people love each
other&#33;


means: it depends on EACH CASE&#33; But normally if they really love each other
I would not put them to jail, I would offer them help from a social institution if
they need it... but that is a little bit to strong, mean I can understand in some
ways, but is is too strong - and you have to DECIDE DIFFERENT IN EACH CASE&#33;
means: judges als ohave a big repsonsiblity, if they take their jobs serious...

this with the cat, I heard it from - and it does not mean everyone do this -
I think from my father who get from a friend. But is it true that if you buy something - there are always many warning on the package, if these warning
would not have been there - and some warnings are clear if you use your mind
or think about it - people try to take big companies to court ;)

~nice dreams...

you share WAY too many thoughts&#33;
