I fully agree. Watermarking might be a way out of this DRM nonsense. The user can get all the rights to the file he/she would have with a pbook but is responsible for what happens to the file and who it will be given to.

There really is no reasonable objection to watermarking I can think of, unless one plans to upload the file to a file server.
