Big (Warner) Brother Is Watching You
In their latest effort to halt piracy, Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox have hired security personnel to monitor media screenings with night-vision binoculars to look for persons trying to use camcorders while the movie is being run, the Los Angeles Times reported today (Thursday). The newspaper said that at a May 18th press screening of Warner's Dreamcatcher, those entering the theater were also scanned with an electronic wand. In January, security personnel using night-vision lenses nabbed a person in the audience using a camcorder to record Fox's Daredevil, the Times said. "We have instituted a variety of measures at screenings, including checking the projection booths," Jeffrey Godsick, Fox's marketing chief, told the newspaper. (Several reports have indicated that many pirated films appear to have been shot with cameras mounted on tripods inside theater projection booths.)
