Change the billboard for elevator music (which will be protected). Will you
be able to play back your digital dictations *if* they were recorded in an
environment that included background music.
IMHO, Silly does not mean they will not be successful. Look at DMCA.

Actually, it's unlikely that anyone would embed watermarks in billboard
ads, or in ads in general. Copying an ad is usually a Good Thing from
the advertiser's point of view - more exposure. It's only the program
material which needs protection.
To get back to security; could I use this to defeat video surrveilliance
cameras, by wearing a copyrighted teeshirt??
This thread on this very silly idea from the MPAA has gone far
enough, IMHO.
