Woman Caught Recording Anti-Piracy Commercial

A New Zealand woman was busted recording an anti-piracy commercial that was playing ahead of the popular Disney movie “Cars”.

Staff members of the movie theatre caught the woman, who was sitting there with her family, and confiscated her camcorder.

If the woman is convicted for copyright theft, she could face up to five years in prison, or a fine between 6000 and 90.000 USD.

However, the staff of the cinema in question may have responded a little too adequate (early), it might be hard to get someone in jail for recording an anti-piracy commercial.
