“The goal is to not drown out the camcorder image sensor, but to make the movie screen so spotty that its no longer âgood enoughâ to camcord anymore.”

The screen in a theater is already not good enought to camecord anymore without the infrared thingy. So what the point?

” No problems at allâ¦ thereâs always Screeners from Hollywood insiders. ”

Yup, this.

An inconvenient fact ignored by all who can do something about it.
Hollywood WANTS those movies to hit the net, only they want
to be sure they control when it’s to happen.

No problems at all… there’s always Screeners from Hollywood insiders.

So, all the pirates have to do is invent and use cameras that, like the human eye, can’t see infrared rays.

Cams suck and always have. If IR gets rid of cams then I’d say it’s a good thing for everyone, especially if it creates a greater demand for high quality rips.

In a move that could eventually be copied by all discerning billionaires, Abramovich has installed an anti-paparazzi shield on his newest vessel, the worldâs biggest and most expensive private yacht.

The high-tech system on Eclipse, a mega-yacht measuring up to 557ft, relies on lasers to block any digital camera lenses nearby

Infrared lasers detect the electronic light sensors in nearby cameras, known as charge-coupled devices. When the system detects such a device, it fires a focused beam of light at the camera, disrupting its ability to record a digital image.

The beams can also be activated manually by security guards if they spot a photographer loitering.

The only good thing about cams is the way they consistently shame the industry when, despite their best attempts, cam versions of every single major release appear online immediately.

Wait, does anyone even watch cams? How could anyone put up with the poor image quality and sound?
Go ahead and install IR lights. Nobody fucking cares.

Anyways good TS are usually available, filmed in great conditions, certainly without the infra red thing turned on, and probably filmed by the actual cinema managers.

Cam copies are indeed a worthless waste of bandwidth and I really wish the scene would stop releasing them.
Of course then it would only be a matter of time before the MPAA goes on to blame something else while still ignoring the source of insider releases.

That sounds pretty effective. Is there no such thing as a filter that will stop only infrared light?

I am sure there is and the claim that this will make the image more blury than it is already is bogus.

I never believe that anyone really watch movies on a cam. This is a propaganda tool used by the corporation of parasites.

IR sources are still visable even when IR filters are used.
The difference is you just end up seeing the area of the light source instead of the light source drowning out the entire image completely.
So this idea would work given enough IR emitters covering the screen.
The goal is to not drown out the camcorder image sensor, but to make the movie screen so spotty that its no longer “good enough” to camcord anymore.

40$ canadian here :

but it won’t block infra-red for your whole body, just the camera so watch out!

Great these are the light waves produced by an OVEN. We’re being COOKED in the cinema we paid to have access to, there’s no way I’m ever gonna go there again.

Anyways infra-red filters do exist. Usually the oven glasses are actually infra-red filters. The cost is pretty low.

Cams are generally too blurry to watch anyway…
