Digital watermark data is embedded into compressed media content that is transmarked when the compressed media content is converted to an analog format or into an uncompressed digital format. The watermark data uniquely identifies the converter/player device/user that converted the watermark-protected digital media content into the analog format or the uncompressed digital format. The presented media content in the analog format or the uncompressed digital format is modified as a function of the watermark data and the digital signature obtained from the converter/player device/user. The modifications are visible and essentially produce a correspondingly different media presentation for each converter/player device/user. The modifications, however, are selected so that they are nonessential to the storyline and, consequently, not noticed by a casual user.
