[Tig] t/c on pirated feature

[Frank Hellmann]

I assume this was the "Hulk" debacle a couple of years ago. As I 
remember from a conversation with the Head of Warner security here in 
Germany, I don't think that finding the leak had much to do with the t/c 
window by itself, but more with the issue that only partial 3D plates 
and a lot previz was still in there. As it had no visible watermarks I 
would assume it was intended to be used in sound post. I guess this 
together made it much easier to determine where and when that tape was 
generated and who had access to it.

       Best, Frank...
