If a copy of something I bought, embedded with a watermark that maps to me, gets out into the wild, I simply cannot prove that I've never been to MegaUpload or BitTorrent or wherever and that I don't know how the copy of my book got there. I feel like when it comes to piracy there's a presumption of guilt, and that makes me very nervous.
This is what I meant by watermarking being easy to forge. That idea kind of makes me look at it wearing a tinfoil hat.
