The good news for video pirates is: -- Every time a video is encoded, it hashes differently. So a studio could find a torrented file and find people downloaded

The good news for video pirates is:
-- Every time a video is encoded, it hashes differently. So a studio could find a torrented file and find people downloaded that exact copy, but they couldn't just ask for every copy of a show.
-- If this became a problem, you could toss some random metadata on a file and it would hash differently. Or zip a file/program with a text file containing a guid. Etc.
- sailormoon 17y agoEvery time a video is encoded, it hashes differently. Really? Even with the exact same source file and exact same codecs/methodology? Why is that, is there an "encoding time" metadata field or something?
