I've heard it used, but rarely in this sense, and never in relation to
web streaming. I think the term used to be used in TV. I've always
called them watermarks too. Please excuse the crusty regulars who are
far too fond of flaming, even when it's unwarranted (Is there suddenly
an Idiot Shortage, if you're looking for targets?)
NB - There are two sorts of watermark, visible and invisible. If you're
serious about this, look it up. You'll probably be wanting to use both.
Visible are good at discouraging blagging, invisible are good at
proving things after you've caught the blagger. It's sometimes
particularly useful if every copy gets a unique invisible watermark -
then you can track just _who_ let their copy get copied.
