... aren't you assuming a digital signal? Why not put the (protected) CD
into a high end player, record the ANALOGUE signal onto a good digital
recorder, then redistribute those WAVs/mp3s/whatever?
If watermarking is perceptible after an analogue transfer, then the
watermark has corrupted the audio signal, so consumers and artists will be
up in arms, and the watermarking won't be acceptable (as a musician, I want
a consumer to be able to listen to my music *as I intended it* not after
some piece of crap digital jiggery-pokery has been applied to it).
Anyway, I still buy vinyl, so what do I care :-)
