If the purpose of watermarking is to discourage piracy by identifying the culprits and exposing them to sanctions, then the difficulty of proving that the purchaser identified by the watermark is the one who actually committed the offence means that it could be argued that the watermarking will actually achieve nothing and will even potentially run the risk of blackening the name of innocent purchasers.

I would argue if your ebooks got out there then you were involved. Maybe through criminal negligence, maybe through deliberation. Makes no difference.
