We won' t get another bootleg like Death Blow - Jul 01, 2006 03:19
Looks like 13 bootleggers got busted for trying to sell Superman. Are these guys stupid trying to sell it the first day of the movie? Jerry Seinfeld would be sad.

Thirteen people were arrested in raids across New York City yesterday as part of an FBI strike on two movie piracy rings that authorities said specialised in sneaking digital camcorders into cinemas and shooting hit films, then duplicating and distributing millions of bootlegs worldwide.

Officials said the rings had been operating since 1999 and were believed to be responsible for nearly half of all illicit recordings made in the US.

Some of the DVD knockoffs included the FBI warning seen at the start of legitimate discs - " No small irony," said Mark Mershon, head of the FBI' s New York office, at a news conference.
