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.
Yeah, that’s be a high bar for storage lmao
Yeah basically impossible to walk away with unnoticed, and internet usage for this amount of data would be very visible. The movies usually arrive in boxes by a special service that has vans like money transports…
Nope. SD cards can do terabytes now. Walking away with it is probably the easiest part of the whole heist plan.
Getting around the obscure hardware and software DRM schemes, moving that much data quick enough that you don’t have to make two trips, getting the knowledge required to do all that… I figure those would probably be harder.
Have to agree here, you can buy a Samsung branded 4TB USB-C drive that fits in your wallet.
I doubt the copy the theater is receiving is any higher quality than a Blu-ray release though, so aside from George Lucas style editing there seems to be little value in transporting the encrypted copy unless you first have a decryption method.
The problem is that these Mashines don’t have USB or SD slots, you would need to steal the entire thing to copy it on another Mashine. They take security seriously, especially the theaters that do the first showings of movies.
