Grandview man gets two years in movie pirating case

A Grandview man who was caught videotaping a Batman movie in a theater has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for selling counterfeit DVDs.

Robert L. Henderson will not be eligible for parole under the sentence imposed Friday in federal court in Kansas City. He must also pay nearly $25,000 in restitution to the Motion Picture Association of America.

Henderson, 42, pleaded guilty in October to criminal copyright infringement.

Henderson admitted taking a video camera into a Lee's Summit movie theater and taping "The Dark Knight" in its opening weekend in July 2008. The Motion Picture Association had sent investigators to the theater. They said Henderson attracted attention by wearing a winter coat despite the summer heat.
