Seems like an easy way to get your neighbor (and his or her extended family) thrown into a political concentration camp for life. Just copy the watermark from an existing file into a subversive document, put that document on a USB drive and mail the drive to the internal security services.


Cue the NSA getting jealous of North Korean domestic surveillance capabilities.


That or viewing them as more of a To-do list.

Lets hope no-one shows this to "Call Me Dave" Cameron.


I wonder if it makes sense to produce copies of linux that look like RedStar OS without any of the backdoors and things like tor setup for you.
