In my opinion, if the artist is OK with a suggested enhancement or requests the enhancement, then it becomes part of his/her creation.Watermarking, however, is NOT an enhancement -- it's a degradation, whether or not the artist wants it or it is forced upon him/her. All the semantics in the world can't change that -- it's still a degradation, regardless of how large or small that degradation is.
I thought we wanted the highest resolution and most accurate preservation of the artist's creation that is available to consumers. Did I miss something? Why are you so intent on arguing against this? Please point out one instance where I have argued "against" the DVD-A format.
I believe it was "yes" or "no". Your turn...
