You seem to be arguing that you don't want the source of pirated books to be trackable, for fear of being held accountable for your actions?
Let's say you have a Kindle and it gets stolen. You have eBooks on there with a watermark and they get copied off and released on the net. You get them traced back to you and you get sued and have to pay the damages. Do you think that's fair? This is not carelessness on your part and it's not fair that you'd get in trouble for something someone else did.
