The documents were prepared internally and this was a potential problem because they could have been altered by anyone within the company. When documentation such as delivery receipts are obtained from an independent source outside the company, it provides a greater assurance of reliability for the auditor. Grant Thornton should have used the delivery receipts as a basis but further obtained other forms prepared by external entities such as the Form 9540-1 prepared by the USDA official, and the notification form that the customs broker prepared. These forms are slightly more difficult to alter because a third party indirectly related to the company prepares them. Grant Thornton should have cross-referenced these forms and looked for any discrepancies.

The fair use defense was also extended to unpublished works. Being the holder of a copyright also has some benefits.
Watermarking has been considered for many copy prevention and copyright protection applications. In copy prevention, the watermark may be used to inform software or hardware devices that copying should be restricted. In copyright protection applications, the watermark may be used to identify the copyright holder and ensure proper payment of royalties. Although copy prevention and copyright protection have been major driving forces behind research in the watermarking field, there are a number of other applications for which watermarking has been used or suggested.
