People will still wear them, they'll just put them in their pocket and then put them on. lol

Why would a pirate want to make external recordings? most of them get them from a cenimat and they take a copy of it.

So no cameras in the theatre, how is this news?

So far only one person wearing GLass was turned away. Seems like one person, so far bought a pair or these GLass-holes don't go to movies, too cheap for movies? I mean the glasses were 1000 Euros, c'mon!

"there is a market for parts of new or highly anticipated movies" - when you say market you mean audience - maket is when someone actually pays.

Camcorders - of course...But perhaps you're forgetting your smartphone (like all other smartphones) has a built in camera and yet you don't see Theatres banning those. So its understandable for a heads-up concerning new technology such as Google glasses.

This is a little ridiculous. Smartphones are allowed in theatres. In fact, for at least the past year they've had a pre-movie game (Timeplay) that comes on the screen before the previews that you need to play on your phone. Then there are reminders to turn off your phone before the movie starts. What is the point of banning Glass? I doubt people that watch low quality screeners would ever have paid to see the movie if the screener wasn't available.

So did they ban them in cinemas or in theatres or both?

They're just being pissy because its a Google product.
