not acceptable for the users point of view. "Users considered guilty before the crime." Plus with all the issues of making possible for a users to make his/her content survive through times. Imagine if all the vinyl we had accumulated at home became suddenly unplayable because we can't digitize them to listen them on our mp3 player and all future coming formats/technologies after that.


> 2) Use watermarks for forensics.

This solution seems an acceptable one, IMHO. Aka a tool to help catch the person after the crime. It's a compromise that the industry has to learn to live with. A society of good relations.

watermarks for forensics include different ways to do it:

* key in the file. For example on a text file it can be distribution of some invisible characters at different positions in the text file. 
* just a name or an id in the file (what the book publisher publienet does)
