Is that (still) a thing? How safe is it to rip Blu-rays for seeding?

Edit: clarification. I mean the invisible kind of watermark used as a unique identifier of the disc and associated file.

They physically print the disks, so each one from a print line is the same. It would be too expensive to dynamically print every single disk uniquely.

Additionally, there would be no way for a printed disk to be tracked to a specific sale. We just don’t have that level of granularity in our sales. Best Buy scans the UPC barcode of a disk to sell it to you, they don’t track the specific serial number of each disk to know that you bought which one.

Beyond all that, the ripping process will tend to destroy any reliability of having a manipulated pixel remain exactly the same unless the person uses absolute lossless with no compression.
