The studios had the wrong target when they suspected critics and reviewers of pirating Hollywood films. They should have been watching the Hollywood cops. From the L.A. Times:
Julie D. Nelson, a decorated patrol captain and a 28-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, was arrested at the Hollywood station following a sting operation in which she allegedly sold counterfeit film titles such as "The Cat in the Hat" to undercover officers.Authorities said they recovered hundreds of suspected bootleg DVDs from her home in Orange County and from a friend's home in Torrance.
Meanwhile, now that the screeners are flowing again, the Los Angeles Film Critics Assn. has decided to give out its 2003 awards after all, the Hollywood Reporter says.
