What? It's not a forgery if you're not trying to pass it off as the authentic original. Journalists have other ways of authenticating things than just publishing the original.

Of course there are good reasons to want to track documents to prevent things like fraud, industrial espionage, and so forth. But your marketing specifically targets leakers, and leakers are often motivated to expose to the public secrets that corporate actors would prefer to keep hidden, perhaps illegally, eg the Panama papers or records of pollution violations. It seems that you're inadvertently or unintentionally offering 'retaliation as a service.'
