Illegal downloaders could soon sow the seeds of their own destruction.

Tamper-proof watermark threatens to put digital pirates out to sea 1405585671658

A new tamper-proof digital watermark that has been developed in Australia is promising to capture information about people who have downloaded and distributed copyright-protected material.

Researchers from Deakin’s School of Information Technology, together with peers at Japan’s Aizu University, developed the technology which embeds metadata - such as a user's credit card and bank details, internet protocol (IP) address, transmission time, and received format - directly into a song or movie.

That means that when you illegally download a song, your details could be recorded in the file and eventually retrieved by police. If the file was paid for, but purchased from an illegal website, which can sell songs as cheaply as 10¢ per track, the watermark records your payment details.

According to Yong Xiang, associate professor at Deakin, the process doesn't affect the user's listening experience.
