Words matter? DRM means digital rights management, not simply any kind of metadata a person doesn’t like.

Yes... they do matter, perhaps using care in your understanding before attempting to nitpick?

Perhaps bother to read what you linked before being snarky?

> They are not complete DRM mechanisms in their own right, but are used as part of a system for copyright enforcement ...

Because watermarks in and of themselves are not, in fact, DRM. Even if I agree that their mass adoption by BigTech is a really bad sign for personal privacy and (eventually) freedom.

		Yes I did read it years ago and again today? If you read my original point you'd see I said "weird DRM glorp" which you and other have tried, and failed to only closely parse "DRM" so that you could nitpick poorly. It is integral and part of DRM systems and certainly "weird DRM glorp" for an actual close reader. DRM is not just "I cant watch X movie because DRM" even if that is the statistically prevalent understanding of DRM. Its a suite of technologies of which watermarking is one of.
