Montreal Man Convicted for Movie Piracy
A Montreal man was recently convicted under the anti-camcording provisions of the Canadian Criminal Code for the illegal recording of a film at a Montreal movie theatre. As part of his sentence, the man must serve a 24 month probation during which time he must not own a recording device, enter a movie theatre or associate with anyone involved in movie piracy. The man must also perform 120 hours of community service.
In her ruling, the Judge reinforced the fact that the man’s actions had caused extensive losses to the movie industry. This ruling is being applauded by the Canadian Motion Picture Distributors Association (CMPDA).
