Researchers at Georgia Tech have come up with a technology to help reduce the bootlegging of movies. The system detects the sensor in a digital camcorder, and then shoots a beam of infrared light at its lens, preventing the would-be-pirate from making a useable copy of the film. The image-destroying device could be used in many other ways, such as preventing corporate espionage. But there is a potential for abuse.
