Gregory's ServerThis is for sure embedded watermarking but I'm not seeing active surveillance in this (unlike, say Kindle or the myraiad of phone-home technologies).
While I would strongly prefer Free Culture media where there is permission granted for distribution, modification, attribution mandates, and redistribution, if the media is DRM-free but does not permit widespread distribution, what mechanisms do you see as appropriate for the copyright holder to use to identify unauthorized distributed copies?

They could easily use this to track who is uploading papers to shadow libraries and slap them or their institutions with huge lawsuits.
For-profit publishing has no place in modern #academia.
