That reminds me of this monstrosity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinavia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinavia
It largely stopped me knowingly buying anything associated with Sony.
- dTal 5y ago"Verance claims on their website that, while the watermark is able to survive recording through microphones (such as recording a film in a movie theater with a camcorder), as well as compression and encoding, it is imperceptible to human hearing, and the presence of the watermark does not affect audio quality" Of course, they always claim that. Never mind that it's theoretically impossible. Such marketing should earn a fraud prosecution.
- DrBazza 5y agoI can't recall if it was ever cracked - I think it has been, but largely Verance's claims at the time were true - people tried to record movie audio separate to the video and remix them to remove the signal, but that failed. As it says, it's just an (audio) steganography system, presumably at a slow and variable bit rate so it's hard to detect without knowing the algorithm.
