The best thing that these companies can do is find a way to put a different random watermark on each album that they distribute prior to the official release. Any funny saying being said in the background of a quiet part in a song would work perfectly. When the album shows up on the internet with one of the watermarks, the record company will know who distributed it. And they wouldn't have to make very many different watermarked copies of the album, because they should limit how many they give away prior to the official release anyways. I have heard a watermark on an album that was leaked in the past, if only they used a different one on each album they could trace it back to the "evil" distributor.
