"It appears that the multi-million dollar episodes were protected by a mere watermark \
in the bottom left corner of the video, promptly blurred by the leaking group."

"The watermark is pretty much useless, Cauet reckons.  Instead, credits and scenes \
could have been minutely extended, with a different time-tweak for anyone getting an \
advanced copy.  Anyone planning a leak would need at least two sources to identify \
scene adjustments."
