While some of us are happy to discuss these topics, they are totally tangential to the list at this point, so please let's move further discussion of this topic off the list lest Alden be forced to use his mighty sword and cleave us from the list ;-)

I am with Greg on this one.  Watermarking or other DRM schema are
fundamentally flawed. They all provide the user (or "attacker" depending on your point of view) with ciphertext, the cipher and the key. Obscured,
perhaps, but it is all there and the "secret" falls apart.

Cory Doctorow put it very well in a talk on the subject when he said,
"Here's the social reason that DRM fails: keeping an honest user honest is like keeping a tall user tall." DRM stops Joe down the hall from making a clean copy, but to the sophisticated user the Watermark is easy to remove.

The entire talk is a must read if you really care about any of this stuff:
