An 88-year old man, carrying a walking stick and a camcorder, has been caught by movie theater personnel when he tried to make a private copy of the movie Avatar. The man was planning to show the film to his wife who could not make her way to the theater.
Recording a high profile blockbuster such as Avatar in a movie theater is a serious offense, so when the cinema manager at Glendale spotted a pirate, the police were called in immediately.
The man, who was probably unaware of the many high quality pirated copies that exist online, hoped to share the film with his wife at home in Australia, but swift police action prevented this.
The recording was deleted on the spot, but the police were smart enough not to arrest the movie cammer. They let him stay at the movie theater to finish the film.
