It looks like Japan's National Institute of Informatics has come up with a way of thwarting movie pirates using infrared light. The idea is actually so simple that you wonder why no one has thought of it before.
By placing mega IR lights behind the screen (which are invisible to the human eye, of course), the light can tunnel through tiny holes that are already in screens for the passage of sound. The result is a wash of light protruding from the screen, ruining camcorder footage.
