As in title, i’m just wondering whether it is possible to rip movie from cinema if one has got unsupervised access to cinema’s hardware. Maybe someone did that? I’m not talking about caming, i’m talking about making a digital copy of premiere material.

    I think they hide information in the video to be able to find out where a leak came from

      Ratatouille famously did this, with actual scene elements rather than digital watermarking.

      There’s a scene with a poster in the background. Every copy of the movie had different digits on the poster, I think with a unique ID for each cinema they were sent to. When a leak came out they could check the ID and know exactly which avenue it was leaked from.

        You say Ratatouille did this famously. But I can’t find any references. Do you have some?

      Sounds reasonable, but they won’t be able to take it out, they would only be able to not send new movies there.
