The cinema visitor wearing Google Glass was taken out of the hall by the FBI

The desire of film companies to limit their production from pirate interference is so great that the police, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies are throwing themselves into the fight against “pirates”. So, the other day a peaceful spectator who came to a session in Google Glass with optical glasses (he now uses this device as ordinary glasses) was taken out of the hall by the FBI while watching a movie.

All this happened in Columbus, Ohio, USA. The film itself, which our hero decided to watch, is called "Jack Ryan: Theory of Chaos." So, to comply with all the rules for visiting the cinema, the owner of Google Glass turned off his device. By the way, he came to the session with his wife, hoping to see the ill-fated picture, so to speak, in the family circle.

After about an hour of viewing, a certain person appeared next to his chair, “presenting a token with the appearance of a shield”, removed Google Glass from the face of our “criminal”, and demanded to go outside immediately. Outside, the picture was supplemented by 5-10 police and cinema security officers.

This whole company accused our viewers of illegally recording a film using Google Glass. His protests led him and his wife to be taken to different rooms, and the FBI officer during the search took the purse and phones, work and personal, from the ill-fated owner of Google Glass. After the search, interrogation began. The FBI began to find out who this person is, where he works, how much he earns, how many computers he has at home, why he is recording a film illegally, to whom he is going to transfer it, and so on.

Then, even more interesting began: the FBI began to ask how much Google pays him, the owner of the "points", who is his boss, and again - why did he record the film.

A little later, someone came up with a bright idea to connect Google Glass to a laptop. Five minutes later, all participants in the action began to view family photos of the suspect. A little later, not finding the recorded film, the FBI found this person innocent (3.5 hours after the start of the film).

After all that had happened, a former suspect was approached by a man who identified himself as an employee of the Movie Association (probably MRAA) This person said that in this region, in this particular cinema, someone had previously recorded this film illegally, hence the reaction to the appearance of the viewer in Google Glass. After this, the employee handed the victim two tickets to the same movie, as a moral, so to speak, compensation.

No further charges were brought against the owner of Google Glass.

In general, one can only imagine the impressions and emotions that our film lover received. I wonder if he will go to the cinema the next time (even with glasses, even without)?
