Stephanie. I'm not picking you, but rather the attitude you presented.
"if the theatre people would take there own pictures and SELL them I'd be first in line. Since the don't do that..I want memories."
Great - Memories are in your head, not on film. (begin snarky comment) - I don't believe they wipe your brain clear when you leave the theater so you don't remember the show you just saw. There's a BIG difference between wanting a memory and wanting a memento.
"I'm not gonna argue with you. It's pointless because what you say is very true and is the "law". I just don't agree with it. I also don't agree with bootlegs being illegal. They should record them and sell them at the theatre. "
There are a thousand and one reasons why they don't. And I won't get into this debate again. The bottom line is - it doesn't matter WHAT you agree with. It's the law like you said - so when you are in someone else's "home" - respect their rules.
If you were slapped with a fine for $250,000 for taking that picture or recording the show, would you then try and argue out of paying the fine? Blatant disregard for the law (or even ignorance of the law) doesn't count. So I sincerely hope you are prepared should that eventually happen. If you break the law, be prepared for the consequences - no matter WHAT they are.
Someone, perhaps you brought up posted speed limit signs. If Joe decided to break that law - he has made a choice and may get away with it - but if he doesn't - he's forced to pay a fine. It's a choice he's making as he's driving.
What people are responding to in this thread is not so much your opinion of whether or not it should be allowed. I don't think anyone here would say it shouldn't. The fact is - it isn't allowed and you posted the pictures WITH the attitude that you just didn't care.
