MPAA Protects Hollywood From Indian Movie Cammers
The MPAA has teamed up with the Indian movie industry to educate theater staff about camcorder piracy as more and more Hollywood films are set for release in the region.
An anti-camming initiative has been launched by MPAA CEO Dan Glickman and representatives from the Indian movie industry.
The ‘Make a Difference’ campaign will raise awareness of the camcorder ‘problem’ and see the MPAA set up training sessions for theater employees
So why the sudden interest in India? An increasing number of Hollywood movies are set for official release in the country and the MPAA is concerned that after making progress in reducing the availability of quality cams originating from elsewhere in the world, India risks becoming a hotbed of camming activity.
“As we continue to release more Hollywood titles in India, the number of camcords coming out of the country is likely to rise. However, while piracy – particularly camcorder source piracy – is damaging to the movie business, it need not be inevitable,” said MPAA CEO Dan Glickman, currently in India on a visit.
“We are sure that the ‘Make A Difference’ training package for cinema staff will go a long way in helping them prevent camcording, identify camcorders as well as assist enforcement authorities when they are caught making these recordings,” he added

Just like how gravity doesn’t need to pull us downward, but that’s just how things worked out.
So they spend money on tracking down cam sources in India? Great, who the heck watches cam releases anymay?
Well, local cable broadcasters in India do telecast cams on the week the movie is released. Apparently, noone stops them…
huh ! see this m^^th^rF MPAA dsnt care for Indian films ! indian torrents r mostly based on US and noone is hunting down them ! … kill this MPAA !
Why someone would ever care if someone tapes movie in such terrible quality ?
do they expectn that people are going to chose hardly watchable video where you hardly see whats going on when they can do to the cinema and see it in super quality?
