There are other ways to add "invisible" watermarks - such techniques can
also be used for steganography - a technique for hiding messages (or other
images) in a picture - very useful for spies and others! However - some of
the techniques rely on you having access to the image file that was used in
the publication, which is unlikely without a court order I guess!
