Yes but no DRM - even watermarking - is removable by design. It's like a bike lock. Most people know they can be easily removed with the right tools but they create enough of a nuisance, pause for thought to stop the casual bike thief.
So JSWolf's appeal to someone (who?) not to replace ADE with something that can't be removed is like asking someone not to upgrade their bike lock to one that can't be removed. No one selling bike locks is going to advertise their removeability. Same with DRM.
