Camcorder Jamming Devices Announced

Posted by chrisd on from the jerry-won't-be-happy dept.

Adam Carrington writes "I'm definitely not behind things like DRM, but Virginia-based Cinea has an idea that I do support... jamming camcorders in movie theaters. CNET has some interesting details on how they plan on going about it. They even throw an unrelated jab at Microsoft." This might be the technology that drives the stake in analog projection.

    Looks like we just found a use for the technology that alien abducties always told us about. We didn't listen and just assumed that they were nutters, now they were right the whole time.

    So really, your big problem is your instant gratification problem. You can't wait the 4 or 5 months until the movie comes out on DVD or VHS to see it and all those people ruin YOUR movie experience so instead you download a pirated copy.

    You poor fellow, and if those damn people in line at the computer store would just hurry up and HAVE their credit card or check out and ready you wouldn't have to pirate Warcraft 3. They ruin your game buying experience.

    Yeah, I've got some sympathy for you...oh..oh wait...there it went....drifting out the window..floating away like a mist.
