Well Id think a company with the resources (upsell companies) to develop a tool SIMILAR to what digimarc does should be able to see the possibilities here. ya the file header thing wouldnt work that well. Needs to be for video a mostly transparent code number that would move randomly on the screen in an unobtrusive way. So people couldnt simply black out the code in one spot. This goes again with the "if someone really wants to steal something they will thing". It has to be more of a hassle for people to grab members area content and just upload it somewhere. For the video google video uses a wrapper that uses most any of the video formats out there. It doesnt actually re-encode the video from what I understood.
This industry needs to start thinking "outside" the box again. Mainstream is kicking our ass right now. Look at netflix, vongo, hulu.com all these are doing a streaming only system and making money. Adult needs to push that more for members area stuff. Why should a member paying a monthly 'rental' fee be able to keep a whole members area for just one months billing? Whole thing needs to be changed imo.
