Actually, the "sinister purposes" that I was referring to were
different. In context, what I said was:

"How about removing those pesky watermarks from pdfs? Sometimes they
completely obfuscate the contents of a paper we're trying to read, or
sometimes they have more sinister purposes."

The "more sinister purposes" are things like... tracking who reads
science. That's sinister.
