A man has been charged with a string of copyright offences after he was allegedly found recording new-release movies with a video camera at a western Sydney drive-in.

The 26-year-old man was arrested at his home in Broad Street, Prospect at about 4.45pm (AEDT) on Friday, police said.

Police allege that on numerous occasions over the past five months, the man recorded several new release movies at the drive-in.

He then allegedly uploaded them to the internet for others to download illegally.

The movies allegedly included Beverly Hills Chihuahua, High School Musical 3, Bedtime Stories, Yes Man, Valkyrie, Marley And Me and He's Just Not That Into You.

He deserves to be put in jail for trying to spread High School Musical 3.

And the winner for the most times 'allegedly' can be used in an article goes to...

mmm, sweet sweet camjobs

beverly hills chihuahua what a classic, worth the jailtime for sure

ahaha suck s***, no judge till monday nigga!

he would have been pretty easy to detect at the drive-in... he'd be the only one there.

Haha. The extra bit in the article about the watermarks are just to scare others off from doing it :-P

You haven't heard of CAP codes?

You haven't heard of CAP codes?

Never heard of it before, no. Doesn't worry me though cos I don't pirate movies :-D

he was probably just recording the only other people in the drive in making out.

i didnt know drive-ins still existed

IMO its a plausible defence.

there is one at yatala still.

the modern aussie version consists of parking your car in the backyard to watch your dodgy $100 projector bought off eBay boom 'Highschool Musical 3' onto the side of the house just so you can provide the Mrs with a good enough reason to be bored enough to f*** in the back of the ute like you used to back when she was 16...


or maybe that's just me

IMO its a plausible defence.

Haha, sounds like something you would read in a US newspaper: "Defence attorney convinces jury in media piracy case that drive-in cinemas no longer exist "

I don't get how people can watch cam movies. They're f***ing awful to look at. Then again, I can't even bring myself to watch those s***ty 700MB DVD rips that so many people download off the net.

if he wasn't actually uploading them wouldn't it have been fair use.

like surely it'd be the same as recording your favourite tv show on your vcr.

How is it any edifferent to sneaking a few mates in, in the boot ?

i recently played you and your (random) team members in left 4 dead MP game where you achieved the greatest tank points than i have ever seen.. and I prolly won't see again.. oh wait - you're a TOG member. at least someone is learning from you..




anyways, you rage-quit - and then Jim came in your place and pwned us all. it was ironic that he lead your genius to victory, but it still should be said that it was your work at the beginning of the movie adventure that set the psych for the competition for the rest of the game.
