Since when did technology companies stop performing patent searches?

Yep, that seems fair.

The quality is awful, much inferior to a DVD. As far as I can tell, the market for camcorder copies consists of hard-core fans who want to see the film as soon as possible, and these are the very people who will buy the DVD when it becomes available. That this is treated as a criminal offense at all makes no sense.

Next step: The MPAA will pay congress to make it a felony to write or talk about a movie in an “offensive” manner.
