  I believe they already watermark these in some way. Either the watermark also sucks, or the people putting these screeners out there just don't care about them.
  
  Further on the subject of Betamax players, they made TVs with VHS VCRs built in, yes? Perhaps they made TVs with Betamax as well. Send one of those along with the tape!

  The solution to screener leaks

  on Hollywood Keeps Insisting Tech Is Easy, Yet Can't Secure Its Own Screeners
  I know how they could solve their problem with screeners being leaked. Just send them out on one of these! http://img.cinemablend.com/cb/7/4/2/c/8/2/742c82825b08c126615c14291f0d5c13b77a83df68f8a0838077ee0b15 3feaa5.jpg

  They're called CENTURY Link. What a shock they want to stick to 100-year-old technology.

  Hate speech, racism, and bigotry are often not the ignorant idiocy we soemtimes think they are.

  Threading gone too far (as )

  on Techdirt 2012: The Numbers.
  Out of curiosity, I had a look and found the most threaded comment (of all time?) on number 2. Here it is. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120908/13441520319/funniestmost-insightful-comments-week-techdirt .shtml?threaded=true#c6289
  
  It's so deep that it really messes up the formatting. That reply war might not have been such a good idea!
