I couldnt agree more, being outside USA myself. However, my point was about
SDMI. As you know, they are american and my point is, maybe they are not at
all trying to make the watermarkings secure or good, maybe their whole point
is about making the watermark process DMCA'able. You are 100% right in
saying that we basicly dont care about that because we are not in the US,
but the SDMI is and they might not realise that world != usa... thats why i
belive their efforts might not be oriented towards good watermarking.
