But I'm not sure if this makes the Watermarking Industry "all BS". Industry will always try to protect their intellectual property, despite the fact that their locks can be broken. I'm sure you lock the door to your house when you leave despite the fact that tons of people can pick it with ease...

Absolutely. I didn't mean to imply that I believed that it was all BS. The part I was agreeing with was the:
Simply remove the watermark from content and voila' free content. part. Not the watermarking is BS part.

The majority of users will not defeat the watermark, just as the majority of users will not decode DVDs.

BTW if the industry is smart they will use something stronger than the 40bit weakness that the DVD folks used. If they were to use encryption on the 128bit order it will make it more difficult to break. But still not impossible. All you need to get in any locked door is the right keys.
