@MikePhang:It is illegal to put a unique watermark in a frame of a film being distributed…copyright law demands that the master edit be the only one distributed…you can\’t put random commas or words in a Salman Rushdie novel and you can\’t throw random images into a filmmaker\’s film

The anti-piracy is a "watermark" embedded in a frame of the film. The watermark while be invisible to the human eye when viewing. The frames are randomly chosen and the watermark is unique to each set top box. The watermark is not your typical image, logo, or copyright. It is a sequence that is broken up and divided among the frames and repeated. Like encryption cracking the code and finding every frame to edit out the watermark will be exhaustive.

If a pirated copy is release this watermark will id which set top box was used and when. Lawsuits will ensue.

Come on … your name is "The Art House Convergence" be creative. I just made that up in less then 30 seconds.

That\’s a picture of the Justin Timberlake THE ACTOR who played Parker. Do you not know the difference between film and reality Indiewire? And, yes, it matters.
