Geremi Adam, a 25-year-old, referred to by the FBI as “a world leader in Internet movie piracy” was recently taken into custody for, you guessed it, movie piracy. It seems that this notorious internet pirate would record movies from a downtown Montreal theatre, with nothing more than his camcorder, touch up the picture, then sell the finished product under aliases and net up to $1,000 per movie.

Adam will appear in Montreal court sometime early next year but isn’t it funny how the Royal Canadian Mount Police succeeded in nabbing a main player in online movie piracy faster than the Motion Picture Association of America?
