最近在俄亥俄州的哥倫布市，戴谷歌眼鏡對一位電影贊助人來說是危險的。週一，這個小玩意兒釋出了一個可怕的故事，顯然是來自玻璃探險家專案的一個成員。他說，在觀看《傑克·瑞恩：影子新兵》一小時後，他突然被“聯邦調查局”從劇院拉了出來，並接受了長時間的審問，後者指責他試圖透過錄製電影來盜版。

What followed was over an hour of the "feds" telling me I am not under arrest, and that this is a "voluntary interview", but if I choose not to cooperate bad things may happen to me (is it legal for authorities to threaten people like that?). [...] They wanted to know who I am, where I live, where I work, how much I’m making, how many computers I have at home, why am I recording the movie, who am I going to give the recording to, why don’t I just give up the guy up the chain, ’cause they are not interested in me. Over and over and over again.

這名男子說，在查看了他**上的照片後，警官們斷定這是一場誤會，影院老闆AMC打電話給“電影協會”的一名男子，後者給他免費***，讓他再看一次電影。但這名男子形容自己被這一事件震驚了，特別是因為他以前戴著眼鏡去劇院，沒有遇到任何麻煩。這個故事一開始看起來太戲劇化了，不可能是真的，但是AMC和國土安全部的移民和海關執法部門都證實了這一點。以下是AMC公關總監瑞安·努南（Ryan Noonan）對《邊緣》（The Verge）說的話：

Movie theft is something we take very seriously, and our theater managers contact the Motion Picture Association of America any time it's suspected that someone may be illegally recording content on screen. While we're huge fans of technology and innovation, wearing a device that has the capability to record video is not appropriate at the movie theatre. At AMC Easton 30 last weekend, a guest was questioned for possible movie theft after he was identified wearing a recording device during a film. The presence of this recording device prompted an investigation by the MPAA, which was on site. The MPAA then contacted Homeland Security, which oversees movie theft. The investigation determined the guest was not recording content.

“**電影是我們非常重視的事情。”

雖然這名男子最初將採訪他的人描述為FBI特工，但據信他們實際上來自ICE，ICE有權追捕造假者和電影盜版者。ICE發言人Khaalid Walls向《*****》和其他媒體發表了以下宣告：

On Jan. 18, special agents with ICE’s Homeland Security Investigati*** and local authorities briefly interviewed a man suspected of using an electronic recording device to record a film at an AMC theater in Columbus. The man, who voluntarily answered questi***, confirmed to authorities that the suspected recording device was also a pair of prescription eyeglasses in which the recording function had been inactive. No further action was taken.

在過去的幾年裡，電影“偽裝”已經成為一個巨大的焦點，影院監控著顧客的相機或麥克風。2012年，一名男子因幫助影院錄製電影併在網上發行而被判入獄40個月。雖然你可以透過一些駭客手段繞過玻璃的記錄限制，但是，它很難設計成長期記錄，如果眼鏡是裝有玻璃裝置的處方鏡片，那麼這個人不只是為了美觀或方便才戴上它們。”他在隨後的一次採訪中對幻影說：“我甚至沒有想過戴上我的老眼鏡去看電影，我也沒有帶上我的老眼鏡。”我總是在車裡帶一雙‘急救鞋’，但車在停車場。”

他還說，劇院的員工過去問過他的眼鏡，從來沒有抱怨過他戴眼鏡，也沒有要求他摘下眼鏡。相反，他描述了特工在拍攝過程中粗暴地把眼鏡從他臉上扯下來，還有5到10名警察和保安在戲院外等著，不過ICE並沒有立即回覆記者確認這些細節的請求。關於這起案件還有一些疑問，包括誰給出了更準確的提問畫面，以及為什麼劇院裡似乎沒有人在之前的訪問中抱怨，但我們所知道的是另一個可穿戴技術超過社會規範的案例——在這個案例中，還有執法部門。隨著眼鏡使用者群的擴大，我們很可能會看到顧客被要求證明他們已經關掉了眼鏡和**。

更新：MPAA發言人TJ Ducklo也參與進來，同意玻璃似乎不存在盜版風險。

Google Glass is an incredible innovation in the mobile sphere, and we have seen no proof that it is currently a significant threat that could result in content theft. The MPAA works closely with theaters all over the country to curb camcording and theater-originated piracy, and in this particular case, no such activity was discovered.
