But I'm sure it stays on the RAW files. Definitely would be the best way yet devised to prove ownership of a RAW file for copyright infringement cases. If they could set it up that it would be stripped from the RAW if it was edited by a program other than a few approved ones (Like Canon's, ACR) that cannot edit content (WB, Saturation, etc.. is not content, can't clone stamp in a RAW editor), it would be quite a big deal for the news industry, especially after the debacle at one of the major newpapers/magazines (can't remember where) somewhat recently that ran a Pulitzer class photo that was an edited combo of 2 photos, a huge no-no.
