US bill aims to jail film pirates:
Staff at UK cinemas use night vision goggles to detect film pirates
Using video cameras to record films in cinemas would become a federal crime punishable by up to six years in prison under a proposed US bill.
It would also make it easier to prosecute internet users who illegally distribute music and copyrighted works.
The Piracy Deterrence and Education Act urges the FBI to warn people whose web accounts are used for illegal activity.
Passed on Tuesday by the US House of Representatives, the Senate is expected to consider the proposal next week."
