Pirate Death Note DVD Contains Mysterious Code
Date: 2/7/2007
Pirated DVD's of the live action film Death Note: The Last Name began hitting the Chinese black market in early January. Copies are being sold for as little as 120 Yen in Beijing. Unique to some pirated copies of the work being sold there is a strange watermark-like code in Japanese which appears over the entire video image. It reads: "Do not sell this to me! Do not buy it! (` O ') Kono Bakachingaa!!" The characters change their shade depending on the light of the background video. The inserter, creator, purpose and intended audience of this message is unknown.
