Force the UK to commit copyright infringement

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.

    You might need a pole or something to prop the small tv on, or just a really big tv. You could project it on a wall, and them filming it would constitute infringement.
