Blah Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Watermark Helps Track Movie UploaderA man who allegedly uploaded a copy of the movie "Flushed Away" to the Internet was tracked down using a wartermark on the film and now faces a felony charge that could send him to prison for up to three years. 27 year-old Salvador Nunez Jr. obtained the movie from his sister, an Oscar voter.Nunez admitted to also uploading "Happy Feet," but only "Flushed Away" was discovered on his hard drive when FBI agents visited his house. Movie screeners, which are sent to voters in advance of their official DVD release, are often leaked to the Internet and watermarking technology has recently been implemented to track their source.http://www.betanews.com/article/Watermark_Helps_Track_Movie_Uploader/1172249022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
