If I remember correctly pre-release DVDs always have a watermark that is specific to that copy, so it's easy to track back to who leaked it. Quite a risky move on his part (that is, if he was leaking the "for your consideration" ones).

They wanted to save us from a dark AI future. Then six people were killed by funtonite in c/longreads@sh.itjust.works

This is insane, but I love stories like this.
