Audio Watermarks Could Pinpoint Film Pirates By Seat

Posted by timothy on from the also-look-for-the-glowing-red-lights dept.

Slatterz points out a brief mention at PC Authority of a story at Torrent freak about using watermarking embedded in movies' soundtracks to reveal the exact location of camera-wielding bootleggers in a theater; the inventors (here's an abstract of their paper) claim it's accurate to within 44 centimeters.

    Well, outside of Oscar season the percentage of early-run pirated movies which are from in-theater cameras approaches 100%.

    Citation please.

    This smacks of someone just making up crap to support their viewpoint.
