Bad career move. By the time he's out of jail, there will be 14 sequels to each of those movies available on DVD.

[PeterFinn]

Good. The little twit deserves it.

>>admitted to recording "Bewitched"

I had nothing to do one night so I paid to see this stinker.
The movie itself is a crime! (In this week's Family Guy,
Stewie finds that the movie isn't funny so the baby flies all the way out to California to personally slap Will Ferrel's
face.)

Ooof - but it's not wrong! Waaa waaa waaa - it's not wrong I say! It's just like a Xerox and music! Waaa waaa waaa - it's not wrong!

Maybe they can sentence him to death. Then all the Hollywood stars could start a campaign to get him pardoned.

What, you think they wouldn't?

admitted to recording "Bewitched" and "The Perfect Man" in June

Holy crap!  This guy set up a camcorder in my former girlfriend's apartment and mine!

[Gay State Conservative]

Eight years? You'd get less than that for attempted murder in
most courts.Just more proof that Hollywood is willing to be generous with what is *mine*,but not with what is *theirs*.

Curtis meet Tiny. Tiny, meet Curtis, your new House Mouse.

I can't imagine Hollywood is making any movies worth going to jail for (or paying for for that matter).

"Camcording movies in theaters and putting them on the Internet for distribution is a federal crime,''

Ever watched a bootleg DVD from a cam-corded film? It's a horrible, headache-inducing experience. The sound is all screwed up and the film itself is blurry and displayed at a weird angle. I doubt Hollywood is losing buckets of money to these bootleggers. Hollywood is losing buckets of money because their product, with increasingly fewer and fewer exceptions, sucks. Same with the music industry.

Salisbury, who co-operated with investigators, is scheduled to be sentenced in February.

He has not been sentenced. I find it improbable that he will get 8 years, or anything close.

[PajamaTruthMafia]

I am all for the enforcement of copyright laws and stealing is stealing, however the FBI has no problem stinging some 19 year old for copying a few movies but can't seem to spot terrorists learning how to fly planes w/o wanting to know how to land. Their priorities are all screwed up!

[oceanview]

how was he steered to upload to a site controlled by the FBI? I don't get it.

[hombre_sincero]

8 years - probably stay in jail a lot longer than a baby murderer also!

Curtis Salisbury, who worked in a St. Louis multiplex theater, admitted to recording "Bewitched" and "The Perfect Man" in June, and then uploading them to a site set up by FBI agents in Northern California

Hell, he deserves TWICE that if even one extra person had to sit through "Bewitched."

[scott7278]

Curtis Salisbury...admitted to recording "Bewitched" and "The Perfect Man"...and then uploading them to a site set up by FBI agents in Northern California.

No harm done.

[Tijeras_Slim]

8 years for priating "Bewitched"?

That's like getting 8 years for stealing dog poop.

[mysterio]

It was the first conviction under "Operation Copycat,'' an FBI sting operation designed to combat movie piracy.

"Camcording movies in theaters and putting them on the Internet for distribution is a federal crime,'' said U. S. Attorney Kevin Ryan. "(We) will aggressively ... combat the theft of intellectual property.''

Isn't there a better use of FBI resources than this? I mean, there are murders to solve, right? Or have we already caught all of the murderers?
