LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18 - The six major Hollywood studios, hoping to gain more control over their technological destiny, have agreed to jointly finance a multimillion-dollar research laboratory to speed the development of new ways to foil movie pirates.
James N. Gianopulos, co-chairman of 20th Century Fox, which led the studios in pushing for MovieLabs, said it would ideally fill in what he said were gaps in research on content protection left by consumer-electronics companies and Silicon Valley.
