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?"

    I'm honestly surprised it took them so long to figure out to add some kind of distinguishing mark(s) to movies! I'm kind of curious who this guy is, though.

  2. Never heard of Google Image Search? by cliveholloway · · Score: 1, Redundant
    It brings up 4 images, three of which are relevant. Coincidentally, all three are caches of images from pages that no longer exist. MPAA mafia anyone? Do do do do, do do do do...
