UK cinema staff are to be trained by a former police office turned cinema investigator to allow them to spot people trying to record and to ‘examine incidents where recording equipment has been used in cinemas.’
This is due to an increase in cinema piracy here as more movies get simulaneous global releases and the US loses it’s advantage in early release dates.
In 2005, Fact seized more than 2 million illegal DVDs in the UK. It says film piracy generates around £270m per year for criminals.It claims the film industry loses more than £810m per year in lost sales and cinema admissions from piracy and illegal downloads.
Who the hell buys camcordered pirate movies these days when you can by production quality copies from illegal plants in the far east?
