Apparently the suggested surveillance and “corporate police” laws weren’t enough for Sony.
From TheLocal.se:
“Sony Pictures in Sweden has employed methods worthy of James Bond in an attempt to protect against the pirating of Quantum of Solace.
The film company is using special night vision goggles to keep an eye on moviegoers attending showings of the latest Bond film at 149 cinemas around Sweden, reports entertainment news agency TT-Spektra.”
Oh – my – god. That’s the words that best describes my immediate reaction.
If I were to be informed that someone would be lokoing at me with night vision goggles while I was enjoying a movie I had paid good money to see, I would probably sue them. Possibly just file a complaint with the police as that easily qualifies as harrasment (or is it OK to look at Sony employees in the dark with night vision goggles?).
Sick.
