And none of those would impact the timing of black interim time lengths.
Also, this makes digimarc sound crappy (from their site):
>Facebook compresses images once they are posted, sometimes heavily, which can damage our invisible identifiers. Fortunately, there is a simple solution: if you pre-compress your images, then apply our identified, they should survive.
"And that's just my stupid of-the-cuff answer, which is already off to a decent start. And there are in fact purely-spatial solutions that do work, to which the temporal solutions can be added."
For a real example that really works, see, for example, digimarc:

Images can be cropped, rotated, recompressed, scaled, etc. and the digital watermark remains.
