You know what would be awesome - forcing the UK to commit copyright infringement by simply watching a copyrighted movie in public in London. You’d have to watch out for some things, but if you did it you could legally request a copy of the footage under the Data Protection Act, putting them in a tricky position with the MPAA. As they recorded it in the first place, they are already in violation of copyright law. It would rock. Someone needs to do it.
