Crap Code

Kyle Bennett over at HardOCP dropped me a line about Kill Bill. When he saw the flick he noticed numerous reddish spots on the print. Apparently it's an old anti-piracy trick invented by Kodak which is being used in ways Kodak never intended. Read Kyle's article on HardOCP, and in case you doubt his word, see what Roger Ebert says about it in last Sunday's Chicago Sun-Times. This isn't the first time we've seen anti-piracy techniques that degrade the honest user's experience, but this sounds like a particularly nasty example. I've never noticed these dots. Have you? Are they in every print of Kill Bill, or just some? What other movies have noticeable cap codes?
