The Film Content Protection Agency (FCPA) has formally recognised and rewarded 14 members of staff from cinemas in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland for their work in disrupting and preventing film piracy.
FCPA was formed in 2016 by Film Distributors’ Association (FDA) as a specialist unit dedicated to safeguarding theatrical releases in the UK and Ireland.
The recipients included employees from Cineworld, Vue, Odeon and Showcase Cinemas. Their successful actions and interventions helped to protect a diverse mix of UK releases including Avengers: Infinity War, Rampage, The First Purge, Sanju, Baaghi 2 and The Meg.
Simon Brown, Director of FCPA, said: “There have been some significant and successful interventions in recent months, and today’s event properly acknowledges the vigilance and action of cinema staff across the UK. We will also take the opportunity to highlight the very attractive line-up of forthcoming releases and ask for continued high levels of vigilance to help deter copyright theft and infringement.”
