The idea of watermarking is a very powerful one, and may be enlisted on the side of the forces of light some day. For instance, you may need a watermark to verify that a message came from a certain party, that a photo hasn't been doctored, etc..Recognizing a waveform is not sufficient to establish "property of..". Personally, I agree with you that the market will likely resist deliberate crippling of recording devices - but if you can extend copyrights to seventy years after the death of the artist, who knows what you can get through Congress?
