Better enjoy that shaky, poor sound quality version of The Grudge 2 while you can. Mayor Bloomberg is cracking down on movie piracy in NYC. More than 40% of all pirated movies from the U.S. originate in NYC.
Bloomberg said the city will begin using public nuisance laws to go after the owners of buildings where film piracy is organized and movies are sold. The city has been pursuing other types of counterfeit goods in a similar way for several years, shutting several buildings and confiscating millions of dollars in clothing and handbags.
“Video piracy is not a victimless crime,” he said. “It kills jobs for New Yorkers, and, like the counterfeit clothes and other items, it also is carried about by and supports criminal gangs. Now, we’re going to start shutting them down.”
