LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - A Maryland man was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison on Tuesday after he admitted to recording two films in a Washington, D.C., theater, "28 Weeks Later" and "Enchanted."

Michael Logan, 31, could be responsible for illegally recording more than 100 films from January 2006 to January 2008 in five states and the District of Columbia, the Motion Picture Assn. of America said in a statement.

"This sentence should serve as a reminder to would-be camcorder thieves that they will in fact be prosecuted and can face serious consequences for engaging in this illegally activity," said John Malcolm, executive VP of the Hollywood studios' lobbying arm.

Logan was sentenced in the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia. The MPAA said it did not know if Logan had a formal job as he appeared to making a good living from his camcording activities.
