WELCOME

Thank you for joining your employer, members of the National Association of Theatre Owners, and the Motion Picture Association of America in the fight against theatrical film theft. You are the first line of defense against this growing criminal enterprise. By arming yourself with information on how to identify film theft as it occurs, you can help crack down on the number of films that are stolen by illegal camcording in movie theaters. You will also be eligible for the "Take Action" reward program.

By participating in this tutorial, you will learn how you can earn:

Illegal camcording in movie theaters is the source of over 90% of all illegally copied movies in their initial release form. Camcording in movie theaters is a federal felony punishable by steep fines and up to three years in prison, and is also a criminal violation under state law in most states.
