The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) has tracked down their first case of a move screener being leaked for download on the Internet. They have begun to place unique visible and invisible watermarks on each copy that goes to a screener. By locating these watermarks they tracked this particular copy to a 69 year old actor - Carmine Caridi.

You know when I was a lad you could trust a stranger to watch your house when you were on vacation, but seems that now even 69 year old actors can't be trusted not to digitize and upload screeners they get sent to the Internet.

These geriatric hooligans are ruining the Internet for the rest of us. The problem is they've got time on their hands, they retire and if they're not out on the streets selling drugs, they're at home violating copyrights on Kazaa.

Have they no shame!

I say bring back compulsory military service for the over 60s. They need a dose of good-old military discipline to whip them into shape.
