The cinema is a significant source of entertainment for people in the present era. To entertain people a lot of speculation is put on cinemas by the filmmakers. A small number of people who steal movie content are ruining the endeavors of filmmakers, and that is why piracy has grown exponentially. Piracy is the act of copying movies and making them easily accessible through cloud storage. They accomplish this by recording the film using a handheld camera, uploading it to websites, or pitching it to individuals. The theft of camcorders has a significant impact on the film industry nowadays. This provides us with a tremendous opportunity to see a solution to this enormous issue and raise theatre attendance, which reduces the losses caused. The objective of the research is to design a technical anti-piracy system for the film industry using LSB steganography. Infrared LEDs are mounted behind the screen or along the four corners of the theatre, and the layer of IR rays that is produced helps to prevent tampering. The information displayed on a screen is all that a viewer sees when looking at it, they are not aware of the infrared rays that are also being shown. Despite having IR filters, video cameras intended for capturing information on a screen are unable to eliminate IR rays from interfering with the recording process and generating a foggy effect. A GSM-based immediate alert is sent to the relevant authority to inform them of the piracy location using GPS if unauthorized access is identified.
