Michael Logan, 31, of Maryland was sentenced today in federal court in the District of Columbia for filming with a camcorder in theatres, "28 Weeks Later", “Enchanted” and maybe up 100 more movies over the last few years according to the MPAA.

Prosecutors wrote that Logan's voice could be heard on a pirated version of the film "28 Weeks Later," which MPAA investigators purchased on the streets of New York on May 11 and May 15 of last year. Investigators believe that Logan recorded that film May 11 at the Regal Cinemas, prosecutors wrote. .

The complaint filed in U.S. District Court talks about A Covert Anti-Camcording System (CACS) that was placed in several movie theaters in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area as part of an ongoing investigation by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).

\"This sentence should serve as a reminder to would-be camcorder thieves that they will in fact be prosecuted and can face serious consequences for engaging in this illegally activity," said John Malcolm, executive VP of the Hollywood studios' lobbying arm.
The MPAA said it did not know if Logan had a formal job as he appeared to making a good living from his camcording activities.

According to the court's PSA report, this is not his first time getting in trouble with the law for piracy. For example, according to reports, on September 13, 2002, Defendant Logan was arrested in Baltimore, Maryland, for selling pirated CDs and DVDs from his car. During his arrest, police officers recovered from his vehicle several pirated copies of the motion picture Barbershop.
