I thought of that too, but decided it would have been easier to put "invisible" watermarks throughout the movie stream that can be detected even after compression. Say imperceptible color variations that a computer can pick up if it knows which frames to search.
It seems watermarking with a patern of dots is already popular, but embeding the watermark in a color histogram might be much less distracting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAP_code
I thought they used telltale sounds to detect the guy who they just caught in France, no?

Yeah.. he's the Steve Jobs of film. No doubt about it.
I always thought Steve Jobs was the Steve Jobs of film. Or at least John Lasseter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixar
Sure technically speaking he would be =) I'd say that Cameron is just a 'tad' more involved in film making though.
