In yet another display of the MPAA, and government, cracking down on those attempting to pirate movies, a Maryland resident by the name of Michael Logan was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison on Tuesday.
His crime? Illegally recording 28 Weeks Later and Enchanted in a Washington, D.C., theater. This isn’t it though, the MPAA says Mr. Logan could have been responsible for recording more than 100 films from the time-span of January 2006 to January 2008.
“This sentence should serve as a reminder to would-be camcorder thieves that they will in fact be prosecuted and can face serious consequences for engaging in this illegal activity,” said MPAA VP John Malcolm.
Common now Michael, if you’re going to record movies in a theater, at least steer clear of the one district that houses the Federal government. What were you thinking?
