MPA Aims at Increasing 'Sand in the Gears' of Video Pirates

The Motion Picture Association will broaden its anti-piracy efforts on detection and deterrence, with the trade group planning to broaden its visibility into global piracy networks, Chief Content Protection Officer Larissa Knapp blogged last week. She said it also will look at "new ways to put 'sand in the gears' of the criminal enterprises" behind video privacy. Live sports piracy will be a major focus, Knapp added.
