      XPost: can.infobahn       From: Some@Guy.com              Is this why I can't find a legit cam-rip of "Cloud Atlas" on the       torrents?              Note that these guys were trying to capture a better version of the       audio track for these movies by using "receivers" - ?              See - I told you that the quality of audible audio in the modern movie       experience sucks big-time.              I'm curious about how or why the audio track is broadcast in movie       theaters. How does that work, exactly?              Note that these guys seem to have been charged only with recording audio       in a movie theater. How can they extrapolate that to "internet piracy"       ?              =======================================              Two sentenced to US prison for copyright piracy              AFP - Two members of an Internet piracy group were sentenced to prison       Friday on charges stemming from unauthorized online distribution of       first-run films, officials said.              The Justice Department said a Virginia court sentenced Willie Lambert,       57, of Pennsylvania, to 30 months in prison and Sean Lovelady, 28, of       California to 23 months.              Lambert was ordered to pay $449,514 in restitution and Lovelady $7,500.              Lambert and Lovelady were indicted along with two other defendants in       April for their roles in the IMAGiNE Group, a ring that sought to copy       and release to the Internet copies of movies only showing in theaters.              The two men each pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit       criminal copyright infringement.              According to prosecutors, Lambert and Lovelady admitted that they went       to movie theaters and secretly used receivers and recording devices to       capture the audio sound tracks of copyrighted movies.              The group used software to synchronize the audio file with an illegally       obtained video file to create a completed movie for sharing over the       Internet.              Two others in the group have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
