From which cinemas are smuggled films copied?

According to Fars News Agency, only last week, there was news about the smuggling of screen copies of two films Day zero And سگ‌بند Was transmitted. An event that, more than anything else, has made the increase in this form of trafficking a matter of concern.

Before we get into the question of how films are removed from the screen, it should be noted that for whom the smuggling of screen copies is enjoyable and who does not suffer the pangs of conscience by taking advantage of this cultural theft.

Smuggling movie screenshots is a long-standing anomaly. An event that has been repeated in Iranian cinema for many years and has not been confronted much.

Increasing the audience of the smuggled version of the curtain
The most notable case of recent smuggling, however, is the popularity of these films. Most of the films, which were shot manually without a tripod and with a mobile phone, and the shaking of hands, the movement of people and the view from the front seats, along with the very low quality of the camera, have turned the whole effect into a low and unbearable film.

But these low-quality films have seen an increase in viewers. The main headquarters for downloading these films is the Telegram channels, and the increase in the audience of these works can be easily seen by visiting these posts and comparing them with previous films that were smuggled in this way.

One of the reasons for this popular response is the 50% increase in ticket prices, which either deprives a wide range of audiences of the opportunity to go to the cinema or persuades them not to watch any movie at this price.

Of course, one of the reasons for welcoming the smuggled version of the films is to know the quality of the work and its value for money. A follower of Iranian works in one of these telegram groups says: I only watch the smuggled version of the films for twenty minutes, the first half hour, so that if I am satisfied with the story of the film, I can go and see its continuation in the cinema in good quality.

Many people are content to watch the same low-quality version and spend their time with the same version before watching the high-quality version of the work, which is smuggled simultaneously with online screenings, on satellite networks.

Traces of smuggling in old and less popular cinemas
In terms of how the screenshots are leaked, it should be noted that smugglers do not look for a quality venue to do so. Thus, when a low-quality version of a film is to be smuggled, it no longer needs to be taken from one of the halls of a modern campus, because the film must be taken either from the screen of a modern hall or from the screen of a second-class hall. It does not have much effect on the quality of the screen version, and the audience, knowing that they are going to watch a low-quality version of a movie, downloads it, so smugglers do not have much difficulty in this regard.

Modern campus halls are equipped with CCTV cameras, and many hall owners go inside while watching the work. At the same time, in many cases, these cinemas see a significant crowd, which makes it practically impossible for smugglers to film.

Therefore, traces of smuggling movie screenplays should be sought in dilapidated cinemas or low-audience cinemas that do not have CCTV cameras and do not have enough people to take care of the auditorium. The fact that some films are filmed with a phone on a stool indicates the loneliness of the auditorium and the lack of controls, which can serve as a good clue, once and for all, to the case of this form of smuggling, which has received less attention from security agencies and filmmakers. To close.

Even if they do not want to resort to the fight against the smuggling of screen copies in this way, they can easily obtain more colorful clues in this field by tracking the first upload of the movie download file.

Given the audience’s interest in watching the smuggled screen version, of course, the smuggling process of these films will be more intense, so it is necessary to take the alarm of smuggling two films in less than a week much more seriously than ever, and from now on to deal with It tried to mediate actions in this area.

Obvious theft in online shows
But another type of problem that Iranian cinema is struggling with these days in the field of smuggling is the smuggling of works that are released online. Although distribution software on websites that display cinematic works does not allow audiences to copy or record the work, film smugglers unfortunately have high technological capabilities and use creative means to steal and make quality films. Top steals from online screening websites. Therefore, the FATA police is one of the organs that can reach the cinematographers in this regard and prevent this damage.

But the main question is, are the audiences who use the stolen versions of the movies of the day aware of the high costs of producing a movie and the efforts of hundreds of experts in different sections of the cinema around the clock?
