Re: Those damn security dots

I saw a show a few weeks ago and finally experienced the "security" marks.
Pretty annoying; takes me right out of the movie to say the least.  Surely
there must be a better method.

My question though is: What makes the brain trusts that cooked up this
scheme assume that those folks who are pirating WON'T simply go and find
those frames and quickly remove the marks digitally?.
