Xeni Jardin filed a story for Wired on the installation of spy cams funded by the MPAA. These cameras monitor a couple of alleys and feed directly to the LAPD’s Central Area station. Are these cameras there do detect assaults? Robberies? Drug trafficking?

Nope, illegal bootleg DVD sales.

Read the article. Does anyone think that the movie industry is losing substantial money to these poor quality bootlegs?
