Oscar Screener Leak Traced

Posted by michael on from the dumpster-diving dept.

EvilLiberalGuy writes "CNN has an article about a leak of a screener copy of 'Something's Gotta Give'. They are reporting that 'visible and hidden markings on the videocassette copy on the Internet identify it as the one sent to Carmine Caridi, a film and television actor'. Apparently this didn't stop the leak from happening in this case, but will it result in actions against Caridi and make others think twice before leaking films to the net?"

    Action should be taken against those who release poor quality movies, such as "Gotta Give".

    Nah, you can still find zero day screeners at Suprnova.org. I just saw Mystic River and Bad Santa a few weeks ago right here on my 'puter. The only way I could tell that they were screeners was every half hour or so, a line was on the bottom of the picture (completely unobtrusive) that said, "Screener only. Private property of Big Studio"
