Oh, so THAT's why I got totally lost on that supposed "shortcut" the other day. Stupid mapmakers.

But seriously, that's one of the best ways to do it, but unlike the mapmakers it would have to be individually tailored per member. I'm assuming mapmakers made one set of extraneous data for their maps so that they could see if their maps were being copied and identify the people distributing copied maps.. in the case of this biz, we see the infringing sites, but we want the very person who's taking the member content and posting to the tube sites.
