Movie Studios Unveil New Anti-Piracy Lab

Posted by Zonk on from the bigger-guns dept.

PaulusMagnus writes "According to the BBC Walt Disney, Sony, Paramount, Warner Bros, Universal and 20th Century Fox have formed a new organisation called the Motion Picture Laboratories. They've also given them a nice tidy sum of US$30m to play with to develop new technologies to combat piracy." From the article: "There are thousands of new concepts floating around the hi-tech community about how to develop tools to fight piracy ... Researching and developing these technologies now will help save the major studios and other motion picture producers and distributors money in the future."

    Unveil some good movies. The amount of crappy reworking of old themes, overused CGI and explosions is pretty damn old, perhaps some movies with substance and, oh I don't know, a plot?
