I just came across this on one of the newsgroups I read and thought some folks around here would find this funny.
"The first two theater projectionists who spotted and turned in customers who were illegally camcording movies on the screen were handed reward checks for $500 by the MPAA for their action Thursday. One recipient saw a patron illegally camcording The Passion of the Christ at The Grove mall in Los Angeles on April 10. Another, using night-vision goggles, spotted a man recording The Alamo at a theater in the San Fernando Valley. The two pirates were later convicted of operating a recording device in a theater and sentenced to about a month in jail."
I'm at a loss for words on this. :?
