RE: Thanks for your response, but then...

It's not clear why a watermarking system would be put in production without the payoff (DRM hardware). There is a paper somewhere that I read a while back that describes the purpose of the watermark, how it interacts with the hidden data. One of the goals would be to close the "analog hole" making analog copies of watermarked files impossible. (This would require DRM enforcing ADCs.)

Perhaps they are just trolling to see how many complaints they get. Someone should provide some open source software that can recognize the watermark and distributed it for free.
