There is no way to be certain. There could be a future algorithm piecing together just enough bits from a file to identify you. Word frequency analysis has been used to discern likely writers of a plain text file. Yes, you can avoid stupid mistakes by checking for "known signatures" and removing them, but that is something that would be different for different file types (ogg would be somewhat different from mp3; but doc and pdf require totally different approaches.) It would be useful to have tools that can identify and remove watermarks and Freenet would be a great place to publish them (with source code please!)
