Warner Bros. Accused of Pirating Anti-Pirating Tech

Posted by samzenpus on from the just-trying-it-out dept.

psycho12345 writes "German firm Medien Patent Verwaltung claims that in 2003, it revealed a new kind of anti-piracy technology to Warner Bros. that marks films with specific codes so pirated copies can be traced back to their theaters of origin. But like a great, hilariously ironic DRM Ouroborus, the company claims that Warner began using the system throughout Europe in 2004 but hasn't actually paid a dime for it."

    I think you misunderstand. I believe GP means you've just turned onto a street. The GPS map lists 3 lefts ahead of you, the second of which is fake, but it does not know it. It wants you to take the third left from it's perspective, but from yours it would only be the second.

    Alternatively, GP never said it was a GPS giving the directions.
