Follow-up: Teen "pirate" at Regal pleads guilty
Thursday, 08.23.2007 – Category: News
Jhannet Sejas, who sparked our Regal boycott, pleaded guilty yesterday to “one count of unlawfully recording a motion picture in violation of state law.” She got off relatively easy, receiving a $71 fine (she was facing a max of $2,500 and a year in jail). However, the principle still stands that this was a gross over-reach of power by the MPAA and a really stupid policy of Regal’s.
Be sure to check out the Wired Threat Level breakdown of her guilty plea, and also a Threat Level story about how the MPAA pushed the Arlington County top prosecutor into charging Miss Sejas.
