    "The man, identified as Columbus-based Tiberiu Ungureanu by the Washington Post, was watching "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" with his wife when a federal agent suddenly ripped the device from his face, even though it wasn't switched on. (He had prescription lenses installed and had worn the glasses to the AMC Easton 30 on numerous previous occasions.)" http://www.businessinsider.com/g…

    Shouldn't they verify the damned thing is even on before ripping it from your face? Presumptuous agent is the idiot. What if 50% of the audience is also wearing PRESCRIPTION eye wear, as this case? Maybe infra-red flashes (as used in concerts) can be the solution instead of heavy-handed authoritarianism.

    Step up your game entertainment industry, combat copyright infringement capable technology with.... technology maybe?
