Hi all,
It has been suggested that we, the Drexel Digital Museum Project,
http://digimuse.cis.drexel.edu (a thinly populated prototype for the soon
to be enhanced site) watermark our web images. Early in the project we had
decided not to do so and allow free use of the web images for the
"transcendent good of the whole" and charge for high resolution images,
available upon request. We were also aware that many of our programming
savvy students knew full well how to erase the watermark and then put the
easy to follow steps up on the web as an open source goody.
At w3c, it was again recommended that we do so, the Disney/Bill Gates case
being sited as a model for tracking abusers even though they know how to
erase the watermark. Does anyone have any data on the cost of resources to
do this tracking? I would think the maintenance of this vigilance to be
beyond our means, making watermarking our web images a hollow threat.
Regards,
Kathi Martin

Dear Ms. Roberts:
Thank you for sharing the proceedings of the May meeting. I see that
digital watermarking was not discussed. Is it considered an R&R issue, on
a par with "Thumbnails"? Or perhaps it belongs in the province of a
different group? Here at WLM, we would like to watermark the digital
images on our website, and those that we provide to our clientele via
e-mail or on discs. If I can be of any assistance in the survey project,
please let me know.
