A Pennsylvania man is facing up to five years in prison for recording the audio of several Hollywood movies at a local drive-in theater. The man allegedly worked for a release group and was caught after the MPAA tipped off the theater owner. He now faces up to five years in prison.

I think simply banning him from the drive in would be the best course of action but Hollywood has to recoup their losses on crappy movies somehow.
Want to take piracy down a peg? Allow us to buy the movie to watch at home the day of theatre release.

In all fairness, if you do that, you could potentially ruin many theaters and the jobs there. I don't mind it being in theaters first but I hate that they take like 6 months before they release a disc. Very annoying.

More importantly! Holy crap! Haven't seen a drive-in theater around for a decade or so now. Then again Florida not a great place it makes for them.

I go once every 10 blue moons to the drive-in in Sunrise. It's a nice change from the usual at times.

We used to have one here, but they closed it last year.
