Rejected petition Make intentionally revealing movie and TV series spoilers a criminal offence.

Films & TV are a staple of the average person’s enterainment. It is the storyteller’s prerogative as to when significant plot points are revealed to the audience. Intellectual property theft constitutes a criminal offence. But, just as intellectual property can be stolen, it can also be vandalised.
