I'm not sure why you are conflating a watermark with DRM in the first place, or how you could possibly think this has anything to do with 'RIAA-type people'.
I'm honestly not sure what to even say to you because you aren't making any sense.
- mikeash 13y agoWatermarks are definitely DRM in my book. A technological measure used to prevent or at least discourage copyright infringement. It's the same basic idea as e.g. the coded anti-piracy dots you see in movie theaters. My point is quite simple: the arguments being made defending watermarks are the exact same arguments people make to defend DRM on movies and music. That doesn't mean they're wrong, of course.
- TrevorJ 13y agoAh, I think I understand your position on this, thank you for explaining. Even if the arguments sound the same, they are valid (or not), for very different reasons, because the situations are very different.
