Videotaping in theatres to be a felony?

According to Ars:

"The biggest prize goes to anyone caught using an audiovisual recording device in a theatre: 5 years for you! It goes without saying that there are alreadylaws against such piracy in the US. The position of the MPAA and the Senators in question is rather clear: the law isn't scary enough."

So hypothetically, if someone ran over a...let's say, Movie Industry Exec with their car and killed him/her, they could theoretically get less jail time for that than if they recorded a movie in a theatre?

That's good to know.
