But you've offered no reason whatsoever to think that that form of piracy
would be reduced.
Currently people can remove the DRM from a file and upload it.
In your scheme people would be able to remove the watermarking from a file and upload it.
And an unbreakable watermarking scheme is just as impossible as an unbreakable DRM scheme.[0]
[0: For mass-market purposes, and assuming that the content cannot be changed. For works only originally distributed to a small number of people you can in fact have effectively unbreakable watermarking.]
