This reminds me of some ways Microsoft used to try catching/dissuading leakers. If someone could find a source for these..
The Xbox 360's dashboard used to have 'aesthetic' rings that actually encoded your serial number, so they could catch leakers
I think I remember hearing somewhere (maybe Dave's Garage) about beta builds of Windows using intricate patterns as wallpapers to trick people into thinking it was also a leak prevention measure.
