    We were talking about the USA. I am not aware of any Australian answers
    to the specific question of software as an appropriate safeguard. The US
    requires appropriate safeguards but no court has actually established an
    interpretation of them.

    Diddums, thats what the license says. Requiring ac cinema pays the movie
    company puts a cinema at a disadvantage in the market from those who
    don't pay. That is why we have laws to try and ensure that crime is not
    profitable.
