Then the answer is simple. We must culturally kill Mikey.
If it is not registered with the Chinese government, it is already censored by default.
The reading selection appeared to start off interesting but failed to deliver. I read the whole thing.
tl;dr version: "Privacy" is hard to define, so most arguments pro & con are faulty from the get go.
Wouldn't the theater be potentially liable since it took place on their property? If they didn't have the appropriate license then they are potentially screwed. Heck, their employees were even there long enough to catch her filming so obviously they saw the people singing happy birthday yet did nothing to stop it. And they host birthday parties there all the time? Sounds like they are wantonly encouraging these violations on a consistent basis if they do not have the permits.
This sounds to me like the downside providing cash incentives to employees for catching those who record movies.

Some employee thinks they are in line for a $500 bonus.
Monasteries typically don't have:
* Sniper nests
* Double bladed razor fences
* Motion sensors facing inside
* Armed security guard preventing people from leaving
* A full arsenal of guns
* People are allowed to leave
* Phone calls & mail are not monitored & prefiltered
* Phone calls from concerned relatives are not coached
* People inside are not punished when someone leaves
* Nunneries don't coerce females to have abortions to keep up productivity
* Emergency calls to the police actually go to the police & not internal security
* Don't make 'bad' monks clean septic tanks with their hands (no tools, JUST their hands).
* Don't throw members into a shit pond for not behaving by their standards.
* Get to see their family
* Are not physically beat, kicked or strangled by their leader David Miscavige.
* Are not asked by their leader David Miscavige to beat/attack other members who are not living up to the leader's standards.
* Are permitted time for personal hygiene when being punished for information leaks.
* Do not go into lock down when information leaks
The cult claims more than 6,000 churches missions & related groups, but I don't see anywhere near that amount listed on their website. And they claim 8-12 million Scientologists, but there are only about 25,000 in the US. http://www.timesanddemocrat.com/articles/2009/11/06/features/14122340.txt> .
If you really think there are 8 million Scientologists, then were the heck are they all? Shouldn't those Orgs be packed full? Seriously, how many should be in any major city in the US. They just aren't there. They are lying to you & all you have to do is a little basic research. Start of with the question of 6,000 churches, missions & related groups. That should be simple to verify from the scientology.org website alone.
Oh, well that brings us back to cases like Lisa McPherson & Herbiert Pfaff.
Its not like no-one knew about Scientology work camps - some german documentary team went out to go visit it and got stopped by a bunch of armed men (this was in the early 90's) - wish I could remember the title.

At gold base? Yes. They have built e-meters there. I'm not sure if it's still done at that base. They also produce their books, CDs, DVDs, promotional material. It is also the location of Golden Era Productions where promotional films are made. Also fun stories of cleaning out their shit pond & septic systems by hand... no seriously with their hands.
In the The Big Blue building in LA they make the RPF workers build furniture in confined spaces.
researchers at the University of Edinburgh have found that Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) somehow makes trees grow faster
I don't think they need to look any further for answers than the Fantastic Four.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
