Further confirming my belief that nothing good happens at the Des Peres "Ciné," we now have the distinction of being home to the first person convicted in the U.S.—one Curtis Salisbury of St. Charles—for illegally camcording a theatrical release.
You can read the gory details here, but it's at least some comfort to note the dude was trying to do it high-class: "Salisbury admitted connecting the camcorder equipment directly to the projector sound board while recording films in the theater. He also used a mini-disc recorder to capture the film sound he would later synchronize with the video, using his computer to enhance its quality."
Why anyone would waste that kind of effort on "Bewitched," though, is beyond me...

You have obviously never seen the Seinfeld addressing the topic. Jerry was doing it for the kids who couldn't rent movies with gratuitous nudity or adult language. This was their only outlet. Who isn't sympathetic to the kids?
