As in title, i’m just wondering whether it is possible to rip movie from cinema if one has got unsupervised access to cinema’s hardware. Maybe someone did that? I’m not talking about caming, i’m talking about making a digital copy of premiere material.

    so what you’re saying is that we must infiltrate the drm company and plant a secret backdoor that can be used to bypass the activation key

      probably easier to mess with the projector so it records a local file that is a copy of what is being projected, which would already been decrypted. With this if you can infiltrate the DRM company you only need the schematics of the projector, not an active malware to steal new keys.

        that’s a good question, what would happen to the movie if the company behind the drm goes under? i assume that cinemas have some contingency to still be able to play the movie in that case right?

          Unless the companies sell their DRM as a service instead of a per-movie-product, nothing would happen, I suppose, other than no more customer support. I suspect any online checks the DRM does is with the movie owners rather than the software developer.
