Disneys new blockbuster "Finding Nemo" will be protected with night goggles against movie pirates. The equipment that is able to see in dark rooms will be used to detect people that are illegally taping the movie e.g to sell it on the internet. A total security protocol has been developed in order to stop movie theater tapers. These measures are only taken for in advance showings.
A warning about unauthorized recording has been printed on preview tickets for the last nine months telling violators that if they enter with their video equipment they will be denied admission. If the devices are used, they will be confiscated. In April, a 33-year-old California man was arrested and charged with illegally videotaping movies in sneak previews. If convicted, he faces up to 26 years in federal prison.
Kendrick and his partner first check movie patrons using the metal-detecting wands because digital cameras are small and compact but they do contain metal parts. Once inside, the guards sit 25-minute shifts monitoring the projection room's camera and the entire theater. The night-vision goggles are used to span the audience to see if there are any strong lights coming from a video recorder.
