COPIER CODE CRACKED
"The Electronic Frontier Foundation said this week that it had cracked the code used in Xerox printers to embed details about the printer, including serial number, along with time and date information.
The EFF reported the existence of the watermarks this summer, and this week published source code of a Xerox decoding program. Speculation launched as to what other technology the government was tracking. And bloggers almost immediately began figuring out ways to get around the tracking."
