jotato: I believe this can be defeated by tricking the watermarker in to generating 1000 distinct watermarks for the same image.

azdle: That won't work, because "there's exactly one distinct watermark per image, so 1000 of the same image would have the same watermark."

Kdparker: So subtle alter the image, to trick the watermarker in to thinking the image isn't the same, thus generating more distinct watermarks for the (effectively) same image.

If you have the original image, the problem is already solved. If you don't have the original image, then all you will be doing is submitting the watermarked image and having the site apply another random watermark to it.
