BBC NEWS | Entertainment : "Cinema staff in the US are being offered up to $500 (£275) to catch people recording movies on camcorders. Other anti-piracy moves include staff wearing night-vision goggles to see if customers are recording films.
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) said it seized 52 million DVDs and other illegal copies of movies in 2003 - many of which began as recordings made in theatres during the first few days of a movie's opening. Studios have also been lobbying for state laws that make recording a movie in a theatre a crime. In California, individual theatregoers can make a citizen's arrest of someone recording a movie. "
