(A nice introduction by the lovely John Stith)
I'm really glad I read this article as it gave me a good insight in where this technology is right now and where it’s headed and unfortunately for the researchers involved audio watermarking technology is going nowhere fast.
Basically the technology as you can imagine is pretty successful when it comes to watermarking DVD’s but when it comes to audio there seems to be a lot of confusion in deciding the next direction to best steer the technology.
And with other more successful alternatives already available I doubt this technology will ever really take off.
I think researchers involved in technology like this should take note of the failures involved in DRM and more pacifically EBooks. Too many restrictions and users will just opt for an easier alternative which with the implementation of Web 2 and 3 ideologies, will more often than not be restriction free.
