A man who used his phone to make secret recordings of Hollywood movies in the cinema and sent them to a "friend in Ukraine" may have cost the film industry £2million, a court heard.
Nicolaveci, of Milman Road in Walton, was identified as the source of the recordings, and pleaded guilty to fraud and making for sale an article infringing copyright. He appeared for sentence at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 4 October. Raj Chopra, defending, said his client had simply agreed to help a friend, 'Georgie', back in Ukraine and realised he had made a "very silly mistake"."He asked for a couple of films. He didn't know, he's only a young man, only 24 years of age, he didn't realise what he was doing was illegal.
