Yeah, they also outlawed murder. And stealing. And bribing officials. All universally unenforceable. Weird...

Well, consider the case with murder: they're not demanding that people proactively implement a system to prevent it from happening, are they? You're just not allowed to do it, in the sense that the system will attempt to find you, prove your guilt, and punish you after the fact.

    I imagine it would be the same for making (use of) models which don't add these watermarks, no? The punishable crime is providing or using the service.

    There are various systems meant to (attempt to) prevent it from happening, yes, from firearms laws to police forces

    But picking out murder and ignoring the other ones which are far more analogous to the regulations mentioned seems a bit disingenuous...
