A 10 and 12 year old were caught trying to pirate Potter. Article: Kids caught trying to pirate Potter Film Quote: A cinema-goer said staff nabbed two children aged around 10 or 12 as they tried to video Prisoner of Azkaban in a cinema in north London on 31 May.
He said: "It was so obvious, because they were carrying a small suitcase."
Quote: Meanwhile, Vue cinemas are employing ushers with special night-vision goggles to spy any potential Potter pirates.
They've been told to be on the look out throughout the entire film.
Vue say they will report anyone making a recording of the film to the police.

Well it's partly the staff's fault - PG means you have to be with an adult if you're under 15.

when i saw the title of this news i thought the kids were going to be older, but then i saw that they were 10 or 12 & i was quite shocked, i'm glad they were caught, i don't want this movie to be pirated, it will destroy the film industry and besides watching this film is better in the cinema anyway  oh plus if you get the official DVD then you get all the extras and proper packaging, don't blame the staff, it's good that they caught them.

I think it's rather stupid and selfish; these guys spent years of their lives working on this only to have people try to steal their wages.
Imagine how you would feel if you worked, went to collect your paycheck and found it had been docked because people had been stealing your money.
It's disgraceful and is what is dragging down the British Film Industry.

LOL - Little scamps! They wouldn't have done a good job at the age of 10-12 anyway, the picture would probably be shaking like hell, and had the person in the front's head throughout the whole thing! hahaha
But someone was gonna try it. At least now Vue are alerted, but I went to Vue yesterday and never see anyone in there with goggles... But then again, I was near the back.

I agree with marcella!
But I'll tell you this... What idiots!! A SUITCASE?!?! ...inconspicuos...
They might as well have walked in with a sign plastered on their obviously empty heads saying... "We Are Attempting To Tape This Movie" .
Its just beyond unoriginality... They really should have attatched wires to their necks, worn black suits and dark sunglasses and walked around with their hands behing their backs.
A Messsge for the two brainless idiots... "DUH"

PG means you have to be with an adult if you're under 15. ^ really, because I thought that ratings went: G= all audiances, PG= Parental guidence suggested, PG-13= Parental guidence for anybody under 13, R= Parental guidence for anybody under 17, NC-17= Nobody allowed under seventeen.
But you have to be an absolute moron to do something like that.

I have nothing to say, because kids that age are stupid and will do stupid things...plus I kinda mad at the kids becuase if they didn't get cought then it would be all over the net and you know what I wanna go to the movies to see it not on the net.

Wut losers!! Harry Potter movies are great but I think everyone can wait until it comes out on video or at least see it again in the movie theater. II'm gonna see it about 10 times or more!!!! :sorcerer:

Well, it was bound to happen sometime. But I am confident in saying that true Harry Potter fans will wait until the legal version comes out like the rest of us... :flowersmile:

Marcella, maybe it is different over here in the US, but that is not how it works. PG is "suggested guidance". I go to PG-13 anyway without adults and I don't get "carded" for my student ID or anything.
