Maybe I'll just have to hope most people are honest, and ignore
the rest.  Of course, that honest people thing didn't work out so
well for a while with music downloading via Napster.  I wonder
if the iTunes & Amazon small fee for download is working any
better for the music writers, most of whom seem to tour for their
livelihood now.

Anyway, I can still see a useful side to a watermarking program.

TTFN....
