Well, correct me if im wrong but with the DMCA in place, wouldnt it be
illegal to even try to remove a watermark? That way, no matter how
weak/lame/clueless your protection is, you can always get back to good 'ol
lawyers to nail pirates that publicise de-watermarking software. Anyone
knows of something strangely similar called DeCSS ? :)

Maybe the whole point is not to be secure but make people suable.
