So many times people forget the legal principal.

It's like those tacky trailers at the start of a movie "pirating movies is illegal". First question the judge asks - what steps did you do to prevent pirating and when did you notify your customers.




Well, if true it's a surprising principal... Theaters have to inform their occupants that pirating is illegal? What case set that precedent?


He may have been referring to the trailers included in DVDs and such. But here in France I think we also have piracy warnings in theatres now. As usual, the customer is the victim.


Yes, here in the UK we have adverts before the movie, and messages that say "You may not record with any device", or something to that effect.
