Read the quote in the story; "In an effort to curtail the piracy and bootlegging of DVD screeners..." Numerous posts have attempted to make the point that the effort is futile since it is not perfect. The intent is not to make an unbreakable system. That would be too costly and cumbersome. The effort is to curtail. Look it up: abridge, diminish, reduce, restrict, cut back. I have to say this scheme is a rational approach to a complicated problem, and is likely to be very successful in CURTAILING the piracy, and is FAR better than using the justice system to accomplish the same goal. As long as little films are not stopped in the process, this is good for the Academy and good for the justice system. I suppose that little films (unlike blockbusters) might not need this scheme.

It never rains in California, except when it's raining.
