The
Motion
Picture Association of America (MPAA) is equipping cinema ushers with night
vision goggles and training them to spot people illegally taping films.
The scheme is being trialled in Malaysia as part of an attempt to stop new
releases being filmed and sold on DVD or put on peer-to-peer networks.
Malaysian authorities are attempting to crack down on movie piracy ahead of
wider free trade talks.
Nor Hayati Yahaya, the MPAA's manager for Malaysia, told
Reuters
that the night-vision goggles had been "very successful".
The MPAA has also imported two DVD sniffing dogs which have found more than a
million DVDs and been instrumental in shutting down a piracy ring. The dogs have
been so successful that a bounty has reportedly been placed on their heads.
Similar dogs are already in use at Stansted airport
sniffing
packages for DVDs being imported or exported illegally.
