To be honest, I don't know. I haven't researched it.
If it doesn't use encryption, it doesn't need to be cracked. In that case, it's just removal of the watermark in all the different locations and hoping you caught them all.

I disagree.
If I should ever lose my e-reader or it gets stolen, which is a distinct possibility as I carry it in public transport each day, I'm in danger of being prosecuted, if the person who finds the device upploads the content to a sharing site. If done right (encrtypted connection, VPN...), then it's impossible to tell if I, or somebody else uploaded that content, but because my details are in there, it's me who'll probably get into trouble.
