For the first time in Ukraine, a film pirate is being tried for secretly recording a film in a cinema.
In Ukraine, for the first time, a criminal case was sent to court for the so-called camcording - hidden video recording of a film in a cinema, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was stated by the head of the Cyber Police Department, Sergei Demedyuk, the press service of the National Police reports.
For the first time, a case has been brought to court against a young man who filmed premiere screenings of films in cinemas and sold these videos for distribution on pirate sites, the report said.
“The case was classified under Part 1 of Art. 176 (Infringement of copyright and related rights) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Now a resident of the city of Krivoy Rog faces up to two years in prison,” Demedyuk noted.
