As if Hollywood and the MPAA didn’t already have their hands full chasing video pirates, they just nabbed a Southern California man who was ripping off bus shelter posters — and his haul was no cheap fare: nearly 3,000 posters estimated to be worth over $450,000 (although I’m sure that number is inflated).
