Eyes-on With Lenslok

Lenslock

We have encountered many strange anti piracy methods, but the strangest and by far the most inconvenient was Lensolk. I’m not kidding, this form of copy protection used a lens that had to be held up to a television to interpret a scrambled message on screen. How this would work was this lens was specifically designed for this task and would re-direct light, making the code readable. However there was one small glitch, the lens had to be positioned at precise location, too high or too low, would make the code unreadable which made the process all the more infuriating.
