San Francisco - A man who pleaded guilty to camcording the
films "28 Weeks Later" and "Enchanted" last year in a
District of Columbia movie theater has been sentenced to 21 months in prison,
Wired.com reports.
Michael Dwayne Logan pleaded guilty to charges under the
2005 Family Entertainment and Copyright Act, which made it a felony to bring a
camcorder into a movie theater and record movies for piracy purposes.
Logan,
whom the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) believes recorded as many
as 100 movies in theaters, admitted to producing DVDs of his recordings that he
intended to sell.
