That's correct, the entire multibillion dollar watermarking industry is all BS. Simply remove the watermark from content and voila' free content. Actually... yes. Are you new to computers, or just naive? Could you demonstrate that for me please? Here is a brand new $50.00 bill with a watermark inside it. Show me how to remove the watermark from that. I can detect it with my eye therefore it must be removable. Right? Now you are talking about 2 different things. Physical watermarks are different than digital ones. Did you know that recently a fellow got in a ton of trouble because he wrote a little program that decrypts DVDs? The program is called DeCCS. CCS stands for Content Scramble System. It is a similar idea to digital 'watermarking' for audio files. This clever dude might be in a ton of troulbe... but guess what? Deccs.zip is available ALL OVER the internet. I have a copy mysedlf just for curiousity's sake (I don't own a single DVD, heh). So until someone comes up with new encryption schemes (which will be difficult if not impossible because of the multitude of players already in the market) there is, effectively, no protection. I guarantee you that the same thing will happen to SDMI implementations. I also guarantee you that it will not just be pirates using it. Anyway... cAPSLOCK
