oops, forgot

4. Apply one or more IR filters on your camera too.

A few ideas.
Well, since the detectors on this system will be looking for reflection from the lenses of video cams you can;

1. Put a deep lens hood on your camera to block access from sides of the movie screen. The equipment will have to be mounted on the front walls, front ceiling of the theater and not in the screen itself.
2. IR laser modules are cheap and plentyful on the internet. Get one with a few hundred milliwatts output and fry their sensors. Should be a nice effect. Don’t worry, no smoke or charred flesh, just fried sensors.
3. Using many decoys in the theater at the same time also will tax their system. They can probably hit only a finite number of reflective targets. How about 10 or 20 camera lenses mounted on your friend’s caps? I’ll bet that there’s no law against cap-mounted lenses that do nothing?

I could think of several ways of using IR to foil cameras as well as way to preventir light from interfering with “camming.” The cat and mose game will continue. The ones who will profit are the pirates as well as the companies who make these “countermeasures.” In the same light, the people who profit from computer malware are the antivurus companies and the virus writers. This whole thing is a stupid battle that can be easily avoided with a bit of common sense.

So all they gotta do is use the old “soft focus” technique of putting some material from a pair of stockings over the lens to stop the lens reflecting as much light and this system won’t spot the camera at all?

Well, that took me about 40 seconds to think up, let’s see how long it takes the ppl who do the screeners to figure it out. Ok the movies might look a bit weird in soft focus, but you get worse out of screeners sometimes anyway.

And we won’t mention the number of movies leaked to the net by insiders who aren’t using a digital camera pointed at a cinema screen will we? Morons. The sad part is that movie prices are gonna increase to cover the costs of “systems” like this.

So the MPAA will be hurting the customers they need, and those naughty filesharers will still get pirated movies anyway! I’m in the wrong business, i should quit my day job and make money selling useless “content protection” schemes and systems that don’t work to the morons who are too stupid to notice!

great for any criminals as well,perfect for taking out digital security cameras.

The trick is to find the detector(s) and overwhelm them with a return beam that will confuse their readings.
