Leaking user data to me is a betrayal of trust, incredibly distasteful, and probably borders on illegal (it ought to be imo). Note that this is fundamentally different than watermarking streaming content or other material that the user is not legally permitted to copy. Watermarking the game binaries themselves, for example, would be entirely different and perfectly acceptable from my perspective.
- FateOfNations 4y agoWhile WoW didn't do this, one could avoid disclosing user data to third parties by encrypting the watermark payload.
- rany_ 4y agoThis works until the encryption key is leaked.
