I do not know if I agree but Brendan Eich seems to disagree:

"Watermarking, not DRM. This could be huge. OTOY’s GPU cloud approach
enables individually watermarking every intra-frame, and according to
some of its Hollywood supporters including Ari Emanuel, this may be
enough to eliminate the need for DRM.

"We shall see; I am hopeful. This kind of per-user watermarking has been
prohibitively expensive, but OTOY estimates the cost at pennies per
movie with their approach."
