    The problem is, which I don’t get why they haven’t figured out yet, is that still someone will figure out a way around it. I mean this is America, the land of criminals, tinkerers, and MacGuyvers….

    Secondly the groups they’re targeting aren’t ones who would typical take advantage of the system, and those who would (or are capable of) generally are still fond of visiting the theater to enjoy 30 foot screens and THX sound.

    They need to continue to deploy 3-D theater technology, to keep the appeal up.
