I think they hide information in the video to be able to find out where a leak came from
Ratatouille famously did this, with actual scene elements rather than digital watermarking.
There's a scene with a poster in the background. Every copy of the movie had different digits on the poster, I think with a unique ID for each cinema they were sent to. When a leak came out they could check the ID and know exactly which avenue it was leaked from.
You say Ratatouille did this famously. But I can't find any references. Do you have some?
