I'm usually skeptical of these kinds of vanity articles (and seeing many more lately), but this one kind of checks out [1]. It's got edits by many different IP addresses and handles stretching across nine years. [1] http:/&#

They may appear like that, but they reportedly began the protest at 7am (first sentence of the article!), not during normal work hours.

Your perspective on "usual servility" is underrated. I read the flyer, too. Kind of a PITA to rotate it, but: It's just their perspective, mostly PR-style publicl-available history of projects for that particular developr.

My bet is some private contractors hired by the film industry. In the past, I have seen stories about lens detectors in theatres which work by beaming IR into the audience. I have also seen stories about watermarks in films to encode locat
