For more info, see: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/21/p2p_is_murder/ The Motion Picture Association of America is so worried that consumers would rather spend hours downloading a major motion picture in the form of a fuzzy, camcorder-recorded, video file than going to the theater to see it that they've pressured the government for laws that make using a camcorder in a movie theater a crime more serious than manslaughter. That's right, copying a movie with a camcorder will get you more jail time than killing another human being. Are we taking intellectual property too seriously yet?
