I picked up Anal Required #2. Now, while I understand why Evil Angel places its logo on the screen, what I don't understand is why the logo has to be so damned big. It literally takes up a tenth of the screen. Should we expect this in every Evil Angel release now?

I'm going to investigate this for ya.. I havent heard anything about us putting watermarks on DVDs. Are you outside the US? Is it possible that you picked up a bootlegged copy? In other words, I wonder if someone downloaded the dvd from the evil angel website where all the scenes have logos and then burned it to a DVD and sold it. Stuff like that happens...

Yes - you guys are right - I should have watched one before I said something (I usually see my only DVDs before the watermark is added). Here's the answer about Watermarks: Due to the tremendous amount of piracy out there these days, Evil Angel puts a watermark on all content. That way, if someone happens to come across it on a non-Evil Angel sanctioned site, they at least know where they can legitimately find more. We think that it’s non-intrusive enough that it doesn’t interfere with most people’s enjoyment. I don't know about watermarks getting bigger though... no one that I talked to said anything about it. Sorry I don't have more info for you on this one. :( --Glenn
The watermark on the DVD's is huge. The watermark on downloadable files from the EA website is not. Take a look. Why the two different watermarks if the intention is to combat piracy?
Beware if you're watching on a plasma TV. I've heard those things can 'burn in' to the display. Be a bit embarrassing if, next time the missus turns on to watch the soaps, there's a big ghost image of an Evil Angel logo on the screen.
^ Oh man! That would suck sooooo bad. Almost makes me not want to get a new TV. (I'm still using a CRT with a built-in VHS player - yeah that's right. V. H. S.).
