“Hollywood studios are urging theater operators to crack down on in-theater camcording with the deployment of night-vision goggles, low-light binoculars and security cameras.  The latest version of the Motion Picture Association of America’s ‘Best Practices to Prevent Film Theft‘ (.pdf) also suggests old-school surveillance, like ‘random bag and jacket checks for prohibited items’.  Camcording is a federal felony carrying a maximum 3 year penalty. The District of Columbia and 41 states also have their own laws against it. The MPAA guidance urges theater employees, who are eligible for $500 rewards, to call the police immediately if they think illegal filming is occurring.”
