AFAIK music is copyrighted as soon as someone puts pen to paper, so to speak, but there's also the question of proving ownership, of which watermarking is one way. Do you watermark your audio? If so which methods do you use? I'm wondering if Pro Tools or Logic has something similar to FL Studio's Harmor image resynthesis method, which seems easy to implement and relatively unnoticeable, although by default would probably only cover a portion of a track. Anyone heard of / try SSW (spread spectrum watermarking) - seems to be very secure and undetectable to the listener? There are also third-party solutions that reportedly offer secure and undetectable solutions (e.g. AWT2) but it might be better to not rely on these if similar methods can be achieved through currently owned tools. If you don't watermark your music, do you do anything else to protect it or do you think it's pointless?
