I think I'm finally understanding what you're saying.
You're saying:
1. Embedding personal information, either in meta-data, the cover image or what have you, and making it's presence known to to the licensee (ie. "Warning this ebook contains all sorts personal info about you and maybe even ways for us to hunt you down if you pirate it") would be as effective in preventing the casual user from letting it go in to the wild as current DRM is now. -- A wash
2. The info would be trivially easy to strip by the more savvy users...just as DRM is now. -- A wash
3. It would be cheaper to implement -- +1 for the new system.
4. It would not hinder our legitimate uses (backup, space shifting, etc) -- +1 for the new system.
Do I have it right?
