Kerala software engineer develops software that detects movie bootleggers

[jayanji]

A Kerala-based software engineer has come up with an anti-piracy device to check recording of movies in theatres using sophisticated mobile phones or handycams.
Varghese Babu told IANS here that the product, which has gone for patent processing, was developed after three years of research.

"It has been named as 'Demolish Duplica' and has a hardware unit which is placed in movie theatres. The moment anyone tries to record a film, the hardware unit recognises it and stops the recording. An alert is sent to a server and the anti-piracy cell of police," Babu said.

The product has been priced at Rs.1.5 million, the 30-year-old software engineer said.

Nice find, but I don't think this could stop piracy today. This could have been a great invention 10 years back.

Nowadays people don't record the film from theatres. The film gets released overseas on the same day as here, from where the film is recorded, split as small files and shared through internet. The dealers in India download the film repack it as a single file and sell it.
