Review on Movie Piracy Reduction using Infrared Transmitter Screen, Steganography Technique and GSM based Alert System

Abstract

Cinema is a major entertainment for people in today’s life. To entertain people, a lot of
investment is put on cinemas by the film makers. Their effort is being destroyed by few people
by pirating the cinema content. They do it by capturing the video in mobile camera and
upload it to websites or sell it to people and this goes on. In this study, a technical method is
used in order to avoid false recording of video in theaters. An invisible light is projected from
the screen to the whole audience that falls on the camera lens which is sensitive to infra-red
light rays which alters the capturing functions of the camera. A technical method is
developed for anti-piracy system for film industries using steganography technique in
MATLAB and to design an IR based screen to disable mobile recording and also a GSM
based immediate alert is sent to concerned authority to alert about piracy position using
GPS.
