The only way to really make it work (as I see it) is to make the watermark a *fundamental* portion of the sound, but that would be entirely moot since there's no way to apply the watermark to existing sound, thus it's useless.
I'm very curious what use the watermark has. It seems that image recognition techniques could be applied to music such that a particular performance could be reliably identifed without adding anything to the format. Of course destroying the recognizable patterns bypasses this; then you have what I would consider a different (possably derivate) work. The only other use I can think of for a watermarke is to 'personalize' a recording with a digital ID of the person that has aquired the right to play it. But, I think that is a silly thing to do.
Ps. Thanks to everyone who hasn't participated in the hacksdmi contest. Your efforts to defend civil rights & fair use all over the earth is
much
appriciated :)
I'm guessing that its already been hacked and the code to write and remove the watermark will be released shortly after technology using it is released. DK
