The UK is to get a cinema investigator to tackle the crime of recording films in cinemas to be sold as pirate DVDs.
The investigator, a former police officer, will train cinema staff and examine incidents where recording equipment has been used in cinemas.
Film piracy has grown in the UK as more major movies gain a simultaneous worldwide release, said the Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact).
The new role was funded by UK film distribution companies.
