Warner Bros. Sued for Pirating Anti-Piracy Tech

Hypocrisy at its best:

Warner Bros. is notorious for its attempts to squash piracy, which have included suing popular music search sites and hiring interns whose sole purpose is to find pirated content and issue takedown notices. The company also began embedding each film distributed to theaters and critics with a unique identifier, so that Warner could trace leaked and pirated movies back to their source. But, in a piece of delicious irony, it seems that Warner Bros. may have actually stolen this technology from a German company called Medien Patent Verwaltung (MPV).

If this is accurate, they should have to pay back each and every penny, they took from other people in their witch hunt lawsuits.
