Movie piracy...

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Many movies are pirated using a camera
in theaters.
Maybe some of you don't know
that any camera "sees" infrared light.
To test it, pick your camera and aim
a remote (your tv remote is ok) at it.
You will see the infrared L.E.D. blinking.
Well.. I was thinking...
What if many infrared leds will be put behind
the projecting screen in theaters?
The IR light won't be seen by people.
But it will appear in recorded videos :)
Obviously this could be defeated putting an IR
filter on the cam lenses.. but that's the road imho :)
