Drug Cops Catch Movie Pirates, Too!

A bunch of police officers spent time last night busting up a local bootlegging distribution center, set up in a rowhome in West Philly. This bust saves the movie companies from certain destruction. Fortunately, it will also allow them to release Daddy Day Camp on time.

Cops got a tip there was a bootlegging operation across the street from a drug house they just busted up. (Stop snitchin’!) The men are charged with counterfeiting, which is a felony somehow. This is an important bust, of course, because the violence long associated with the bootleg movie industry will hopefully finally come to an end.

The bootleg movies and CDs were allegedly worth $225,000, but since the movies included hundreds of copies of Who’s Your Caddy?, the defendants might be able to put up a good “personal use” defense. I could see going to that movie in the theater — but to actually purchase a grainy copy on DVD for repeated viewings? That’s too far-fetched for me.

    Too bad they didn’t have any videos of Alycia Lane in a bikini.

    UNfortunately, it will also allow them to release Daddy Day Camp on time.

    Fixed. ;-)
