Michael Koby: Watermarking DRM-Free Music Files

  • Norman Tran · 11 months ago
    Clever alternative to DRM. However there's one worst case scenario I can think of. What if pirates find a way to change the watermaked information on the files? Or your files are somehow stolen? The watermark could then be used to frame someone for buying and distributing their file.

    No system is going to be perfect, however limiting the customer's ability to
    use something they purchase as they need to use it is not the answer in any
    way. In my opinion, watermarking the files probably gives the best middle
    ground.
