A man who used his phone to make recordings of movies in the cinema and sent them to a "friend in Ukraine" may have cost the film industry £2million, a court heard.
According to the FCPT, the films were downloaded a combined total of 151,000 times, which they claimed caused hundreds of thousands of pounds in lost ticket sales, movie rights and streaming revenue, following Nicolaveci's crimes in Liverpool, reports the ECHO. He said the FCPA had calculated the losses caused to cinemas, the film industry, streaming services and via DVD sales "in excess" of £2.1million. He told the court the defendant claimed he had only been paid around £200.
