Busted!

This comes under the category of "I'm surprised it took this long for this to happen." Authorities arrested two men at the Comic-Con International for selling bootleg DVDs of copyrighted motion pictures. It's not news to anyone who's set foot in a comic convention the last dozen years but there's a thriving market of folks duping movies and old TV shows on DVD and videotape. Assuming they were doing what the charge says they were doing, I don't have a lot of sympathy for the men hauled off to the pokey. It's about time something was done about all that bootlegging.
