Cinemas in the UK reported 155 movie piracy-related security incidents in 2023. Yet the end result was the worst year for pirates since 2012.

RIP DVDSCRs

FCPA offers no additional detail, but we understand that the extremely high-quality CAM copies of the movies leaked online were directly linked to the defendant’s skills and the career he hoped to pursue somewhere in the film or TV industry. A mere conviction probably ended that dream, regardless of the scale of the punishment.

Seems like the industry is happy to dash the prospects of a future industry insider that could make them more money than they could ever (pretend to) lose to piracy. Twisted.
