It’s fundamentally impossible to watermark digital data permanently without controlling the hardware so the only answer here is to use brain.
I suspect hardware watermarking market will emerge as those types of watermarks are much harder to remove. I.e. the phone camera uses cryptography to sign that this picture was taken by a real phone. So proof will be inverted and that might actually be a good thing.

But brain no good! Good brain bad!
