Hollywood worried about blurry, out-of-synch copies made by cellphones

Wired Magazine brings attention to the new threat looming on the horizon for the movie industry.

Forever on the prowl for the next big thing in movie piracy, the motion picture industry is zeroing in on small and increasingly-powerful mobile-phone cameras that might be trained on theater screens. Picture and sound quality lag behind their camcorder big brothers, but the devices offer something a camcorder cannot: stealth.

The current quality of copies made by cellphones is simply horrible.  The article at Wired Magazine has a short clip of The Simpsons Movie tapped by a cellphone camera.  Some of the comments made by those who downloaded the movie from The Pirates Bay clearly shows the low level of quality.

“That was the worst copy I have ever seen,” one pirate wrote. “I hate you and wish death on you. Why not take a long walk off a short pier you complete smack tard? You are a pathetic excuse for a human being. I hope you suffer when it comes your time you vile piece of scum. Have a nice day.”
