Hollywood teams up to fight movie piracy

Wire services:

The six major Hollywood studios have formed a joint venture to research and create technologies to prevent movie piracy, industry officials said Monday.

The non-profit group will be called Motion Picture Laboratories and will have a budget of more than $30 million for its first two years.

Numerous private companies are working on methods to jam camcorders used to illegally tape movies in theaters or prevent consumers from sending copies of DVDs across the Internet.

I have a neighbor that has hundreds of pirated dvds. I know that her actions are theft. Is there any thing that can be done, or is there a place that I can report this to?
