MPAA Ruins Own Films As Anti-Piracy Measure
WCityMike writes "Steve Kraus, a Chicago film projectionist, noted in this week's Movie Answer Man column that movie studios are quite purposefully putting 'large reddish brown spots that flash in the middle of the picture, usually placed in a light area' in order to ruin computer-compressed pirated copies of films. Among recent films that feature these spots are 'Ali,' 'Behind Enemy Lines,' '28 Days Later,' 'Freddy vs. Jason' and 'Underworld.' (I guess they had to destroy the movies in order to save them ... )"
They suck anyway.
Could you please post a list of links to your favo[u]rite trolls and other well known/legendary trolls?
It would help me a lot in creating new and exciting trolls, nothing like the same old 'YOU FAIL IT' and random sentences where GAY, FAG and NIGGER is thrown in everywhere.
Thanks in advance!
Yeah, this would ruin the movie for me too.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Piracy is out of control in today's world. I am very excited about this new feature of brown spots on my screen. There is nothing like watching ashley judd when a brown spot is displayed between her legs. Does she have diarrhea? Or is that a dried blood stain on her leg from her period a week ago?
The problem with these tactics are that they dont work when they want to work because when they do work they work only as a work around for the working tactics already in place.
That's fine by me, but I don't want to wait for the black spot copy protection.
Yes, sir. That's when I'll give up downloading pirated moves. I will!
BOO! TERRO
