Audio Watermarks Could Pinpoint Film Pirates By Seat

    I've been considering registering a 3 or 4 (or these days, 5) numeric digit username on the off chance that retarded shitcocks would mistake it for my sequential ID and totally modsuck my karmacock.

    Given that those closest to mushrroms and plankton generally get modpoints, do you think I should do that?
