I'm a member of the site maVen used for his releases and I used to chat with him often. I wish him the best and hope this doesn't totally screw up his future. While he always knew what he was doing was illegal, he never really thought of the consequences.
I personally think it's retarded that peeps put such life changing risks for a stupid cam recorded copy. Either go to the movies, hope for a DVD_SCR / R5 or better yet wait a few months for a legit dvd rip. I do respect the editing that peeps like stuffies do to this crap however we are living in a high definition era.

Only if we could convince the FBI to go after Wall Street executives, just like they did on this poor schmuck. Wast of taxpayers money. By the way cam movies SUCK.
