I see no advantage over traditional invisiblee watermarks.
A movie usually just leaks once or twice, these leaks get replicate everywhere. So if you are looking for a specific movie, just get a pirated copy from anywhere and check the watermark yourself. It's trivial to check if there is a leak at all and also trivial to find that leaked version and test it. No need to throw 15 bucks per copy on it, just let the intern monitor some torrent trackers.
- icebraining 9y agoI think the difference is that the person who spreads the movie over the trackers, who is not necessarily the original leaker, now has an incentive to report it, whereas with regular watermarks they'd simply remove it before distributing over those public channels. Of course, it's hard to see such person being in a position to receive many leaks in the future, after burning the original leaker, so the incentive seems quite small.
