PREVENTION OF THEATRE PIRACY: A SURVEY

Abstract: Piracy has become a threat to the film industries over the years. It financially effects the ones that work hard to make movies. It is burdensome to prevent piracy from the viewer's end. Hence, we have created a prototype screen as well as a security method to reduce piracy on a larger level. We use an anti-counterfeit screen built using IR LEDs that displays the location of the theatre, using GPS, when turned on. Also, to increase the security of the movie and the screen, we encrypt it and generate a single use OTP for decryption.

Keywords: Emission, IR LEDs, piracy, screen, watermark.
