Is it possible to rip movie straight from cinema? (lemmy.ml)

As in title, i'm just wondering whether it is possible to rip movie from cinema if one has got unsupervised access to cinema's hardware. Maybe someone did that? I'm not talking about caming, i'm talking about making a digital copy of premiere material.

that's a good question, what would happen to the movie if the company behind the drm goes under? i assume that cinemas have some contingency to still be able to play the movie in that case right?

Unless the companies sell their DRM as a service instead of a per-movie-product, nothing would happen, I suppose, other than no more customer support. I suspect any online checks the DRM does is with the movie owners rather than the software developer.
