good job tical - i think quantum-x has posted his own crude way of watermarking video and photo content tying it to the member who downloaded it originally.

the problem with this solution is that if you wanted to go after this member for copyright infringement all you really have is proof that the member downloaded the video to his own computer - if you don't have more evidence that points to him uploading to a tube or rapidshare you probably don't win. if every time that file got moved around it got tagged with IP address then you'd have a smoking gun - proof the member not only downloaded it from the members area but also proof he distributed it from his computer.

and that's where i think the only success will ever come in this battle, suing the pants off people and winning.
