Digital Cinema would catch on a lot quicker if it provided a universal solution for video piracy. Perhaps, something like this gimmick of the past could be incorporated, as an automated solution?

"We've stumbled into something that's quite silly," Ochs said in a telephone interview. "We're showing 3-D films made in the '50s. We've modified the running times down to 60 minutes, and we show them as many times as we can in the course of one day."

"People look at it as a novelty item," he said, but "there's a market for it. In Shanghai, there's eight different screens showing 3-D."

Of course, one of the main benefits of showing those old 3-D films -- complete with the red and blue glasses -- is that they can't be pirated by someone sitting in the theater with a camcorder.
