given that in the scheme you elucidate, there must be DRM implementation on the playback side, what do you see as the point of this alleged watermarking?
Certainly, if Apple watermarked an itunes file, denoted it as playable 10 times only, and then all Apple devices counted each play, then stopped playing after 10 plays, this would be working DRM that would use a watermark to identify each play.
But none of my CD players implement DRM. Certainly peer-to-peer networks and other varieties of sharing files do not implement DRM (these are called out as the purpose of the watermark in the original linked article).
So what conceivable use is an audible watermark on streamed files? Any thoughts?
