"Zero tolerance" = stupidity and injustice.
Jhannet Sejas isn't just being sued for using a camcorder in a movie theater. She was arrested and may be prosecuted.
====================
Kendrick Macdowell, general counsel for the Washington-based National Association of Theatre Owners, said that illegal pirating of films costs the industry billions of dollars and that the industry was stepping up efforts to stamp it out.
Because of that, he said, there has to be a "zero-tolerance policy at the theater level."

The Threadless store is like a 10 minute walk from my house. It's been there for a while... but unopened.
There was a salty-dog-ish homeless man sleeping while standing up last time I passed. That's gotta be a blessing.
Needless to say, I'm pumped for the store.
