How do they catch bootleggers?
Well, I was at the theater today in the restroom and I saw some guy changing batteries on his camcorder, I quickly notified the staff but then I just went to go watch my movie.
What technology does the theater staff use to catch people with camcorders without visually seeing them? I have heard about some stuff they use to scan for the cameras auto focus and it gives them away, I do not know if this is true.

You should have placed him under citizens arrest and handcuffed him with a massive roll of toilet paper.

You should have told him, 'tape this' and whipped it out in front of him.

I once bought Stuck on You bootlegged from an Asian vendor in New York. They kept all their stuff on a big sheet and when the saw a cop turn the corner they just lifted up the big sheet and ran away.

Hey, fuck you.
If anything I am doing the internet a favor, why spend a few hours torrenting a shitty cam video? At least wait for the Screener to be uploaded to the internet, you know you are getting a quality product.

You felt morally obligated to prevent someone from stealing soon to be free information from a multi-billion dollar industry. Thats why you suck.
