A film-rights protection company that embeds a Bitcoin private key inside each protected copy as an invisible forensic watermark. If a leaked screener is discovered, the embedded Bitcoin bounty can be claimed, alerting the rights holder to the source of the leak and turning Bitcoin into part of the film-security mechanism.
