If some of my watermarked ebooks are lost or stolen and eventually end up on a file sharing site, I could have idiots coming after me saying it's my fault. That makes a watermarked ebook less valuable to me.
Maybe your imagination is broken.  |
I concede the point on pointless cost.

And as far as i'm concerned, discussion's over, don't bother answering me.

I think I have done a very good job of understanding what you said. I simply disagreed on every claim you made.
For the record, I still maintain
my original statement that a valid reason is the vendor's
right to do what they deem necessary to protect their business interests, so long as it doesn't infringe on the consumer's rights.
I deny the far-fetched idea that your books will be stolen and distributed.
I deny the ludicrous idea that "watermarked" is logically equivalent to "visibly watermarked".
What am I missing?
P.S. regarding insults:

Take your pick, either one fits here. I am sorry if you feel insulted, that is of course your prerogative. @
RobertDDL, you are projecting your own assumptions. Please stop that.
