From Bloomberg News
A Los Angeles man was indicted on criminal copyright infringement charges in what prosecutors said may be the first U.S. case against someone who taped a movie at a screening.
Johnny Ray Gasca, 33, was charged with criminal infringement of a copyright and witness retaliation. The U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles said Gasca used a camcorder to tape movies such as “Anger Management.”
Gasca was arrested in September after authorities said he was caught with a camcorder at a screening of “The Core.” His attorney couldn’t be reached for comment.
