Criticism of intrusive DRM and watermarking behavior
MarkAny's digital-watermarking technology has been criticized for allegedly monitoring and modifying media files without sufficiently clear end-user awareness. Reported concerns include the storage of personally identifiable tracking IDs in obscure file metadata, background connections to remote servers, and attempts to conceal DRM behavior from normal operating-system input/output operations. Advisories characterized some of these behaviors as rootkit- or malware-like. The available source does not establish a final legal or regulatory determination.
