MPAA suggests using cinema night vision devices to detect pirates

It seems that modern cinemas in many countries have now become a place no less protected than the airport. So, the other day, the MPAA manual, designed for movie theater workers, was updated. In particular, in this guide, the MPAA recommends banning the use of video and audio recording equipment (this concept includes smartphones, tablets, etc.), and also pay attention to the possible presence of hidden equipment in glasses for drinks, eyeglass frames, etc.

In order to increase the motivation of movie theater employees, the MPAA even offers $ 500 to those employees who helped find and “neutralize” the movie pirate. All these measures are now directed against the so-called “CAM” releases, which appear almost immediately after the screening of a new film, and sometimes after a pre-release screening.

Just during the pre-release screenings, the MPAA recommends that all available cinema resources be used to combat pirates, including night-vision devices, additional employees, etc.,

among other things ... In addition, it is recommended to call the police for any reason and without reason , at the slightest suspicion that the audience in the hall "pirates" the film. Even if the viewer takes photos of the film using a mobile phone, it is recommended that you contact the law enforcement authorities or simply shoot the intruder at the place that the mobile phone was removed .
