New York Governor David A. Paterson has signed into law the State’s “Anti Piracy Act”, which makes it a crime to use a recording device in a motion picture or live theatre without the written consent or authority of the theatre operator. The crime is a misdemeanor for first offenders, and a repeat offense is a class E felony.
The new law goes into effect on October 26, 2008.
