Technology 'can beat film piracy'

October 14, 2006

GristyMcFisty used our news submit to tell us about another
industry triumph of technology over piracy. This time, the cure for
shaky camcorder versions hitting the streets to compete with
studios, is a concept to simply sell the real thing from the get go!

New technology is the key to beating movie piracy, the UK film minister has told industry executives. Making films available on demand as soon as they are released at cinemas could help stop fans watching illegal copies, Shaun Woodward said. "The real answer is in the technology," he told the BBC News website, citing the success of legal music downloads. "People will take the legal way and I think ultimately that"s the solution for film piracy as well," he said.

Sounds good to me! The only thing better, would be to go
ahead and release the DVD at the same time as the theater release. There
are those that don't want to do all the work for the studios and wear out
our equipment or use our bandwidth acting as
manufacturing/distribution centers, for little or no discount.
