This is kinda like what they did in Chicago:
Wired News: Hollywood Foots Bill for Spy Cams
Except it seems more focused on protecting MPAA dollars than stopping any real crimes.
I seriously doubt that Hollywood is losing money to these guys. Just as the article suggests, a lot of these bootlegs are shitty workprints which haven’t even been polished and sent to the theaters. Sometimes music or special effects are missing, and the film is usually barely watchable. And some of these films have gone on to make a grip of cash anyway. What a waste of resources. Greedy ass cartels.
