watermarking.

copyrighted content. Thorwirth will be presenting his paper on
robust watermarking where he will outline the latest piracy
techniques and how human-readable watermarks address increasingly
sophisticated attacks. He will explain how invisible, user-specific
watermarks translate into early release windows and maintain
consumer motivation to actually pay-per-view.
