Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I downloaded Rise of Skywalker just to hatewatch it and the version that I got left the audio of the pirate getting kicked out of the theater in. Happened at around the 15 minute mark.

The ironic part was that right up until that point the audio quality was terrible. When the footage cut back in, the audio was better, so I assume he just bought another ticket to go record it at a different theater.

Never seen one recording IRL, but I'm usually engrossed in the movie and not looking around the auditorium.

That's how I watched Revenge of the Sith back in high-school 😂

The only theater pirate I ever knew worked as a projectionist and took full advantage of that.

Seen them in person? Nope.

My mother worked at a theater when ei was a child, and she would come home every so often complaining about someone causing a scene when they get caught.

No shade to anyone who does it or did it, but when you get caught and told to leave, just do it and come back later, and be more discreet.

The theater actually put signs up all over telling people all kinds of crimes (some of which sounded made up) they're theoretically committing and how much prison time and fines they could face. It never stopped the lol

I'd always assumed most cams are pirated by the projectionist, or other employee.

Yep, and I watched it on VCAARRRRR

I vaguely recall seeing this happen once. They were at the back row recording. I don't remember what movie it was though.
