it depends what you mean by "distribute" ! i wouldn't put it on a filesharing site, but that's a decision independent of any watermark ! i *would* share it with friends / family, however, it's true, i'd feel less comfortable than with a non-marked file, because once again, it could be lost / stolen ; or my trustworthy friend could share it with just one of her trustworthy friends who could share it with a friend who turns out not to be trustworthy at all (and who doesn't care, because he doesn't know me, after all...), and then my name is on a file on a p2p site and i am not happy about that. but i still want to be able to share with my (immediate) friends, and not have to worry about such unlikely but possible hypotheses. this is (one of the reasons) why i'm against drm and why i'm not even too convinced i accept social drm, because of possible circumstances out of your control which will have direct repercussions on *you* even if you are not directly at fault.
