Pretty stark evidence of who is running the show.
2005: Family Entertainment and Copyright Act: Criminalizes recording of movies in theaters and also lets theaters detain people merely suspected of recording in theaters. Criminalizes releasing a work online before it's been officially released (if it's "being prepared" for commercial distribution). Gotta love how the folks working at theaters can become a Copyright Enforcement Officers. I wonder if they can use force?
