First, thanks for pointing that weakness of cryptoloop.

I've checked that (using cryptoloop) if you make a new encrypted
container inside a previous encrypted container, the watermark proggies
fail to find the watermarked files. I've used two different encryption
algorithms but I don't know it that's really needed. You may need a fast
CPU to do this.
