Is watermarking on movie Blu-rays a thing? (lemmy.world)

Is that (still) a thing? How safe is it to rip Blu-rays for seeding?

Edit: clarification. I mean the invisible kind of watermark used as a unique identifier of the disc and associated file.

Think about it logically. How would they track an individual purchaser even if it was watermarked? Say i buy a disc with cash from a second hand store. What would link my identity to any purported watermark? Nothing. For that reason alone I would strongly doubt watermarks on retail discs.

Screeners are probably marked though so if you’re a member of the Academy probably don’t seed those discs without precautions.
