If you really wanna fight against this you have to control the complete internet and every site every person looks at, and very file one download or send to other people. And thats for sure a matter of privacy.

Books are out there on pirate websites often before they are published. The chances of anyone stealing an ereader because they can upload books are pretty slim unless it is a malevolent family member or acquaintance perhaps trying to get you in trouble. Or a really sad person hoping for attention. Could happen but not likely. And of course most people would report it to someone if they lost their ereader.
And often there is identifying information on other stuff. Films released for review or preshowings often have a number referring to the theatre it was sent to. But how in the world do you think that is relevant I must ask. It is like a little kid who is being punished saying but my sister did it too, you just didn't see her. Doesn't make it right.
