It's my understanding that "watermarks" are more than this.  That you

can add a watermark to a CD and that if it is played on a computer it

has a phone-home feature so that Big Brother will know that an

(un)authorised person has been given control of the CD.
I never did research to see if these black helicopters are real or not,

However, my brother-in-law in Nashville used to get to listen to

pre-released albums... but since he wasn't the official reviewer, he

needed to play the CD's only in audio CD players -- since playing it on

a PC would get him and his source in Big Trouble.
