Warner Bros Sued for Pirating Anti-Piracy Technology

Warner Bros has been sued by a German technology firm which claims the movie and television production company pirated its anti-piracy technology. German firm Medien Patent Verwaltung claims that in 2003, it revealed a new kind of anti-piracy technology to Warner Bros that marks films with specific codes so pirated copies can be traced back to their theaters of origin. But like a great, hilariously-ironic DRM Ouroborus, the company claims that Warner began using the system throughout Europe in 2004 but hasn’t actually paid a dime for it
