The Problem with with watermarks:
To whom does the watermark refers? To the person who once legal got the ebook. Is this person always the one, who does anything illegal? Not always. You can just lose your e-reader with my ebooks, you can legaly lend it to some other person. You just don't know an can't control what the other person is doing with you ebooks. So watermark is no proof of anything. Further if you buy an ebook with a watermark you have to worry to be sometime accused to piracy. So its better not to buy any ebook, just go and get it from other people or other websites. A long as the legal purchaser of ebooks is in a much worse state (often annoyed with hard DRM), there will be no end to piracy...
