The watermark would be able to tell you who downloaded the first copy of it (before it was released) to the public. So if that user shared a video he downloaded by uploading it to a tube - you would be able to know it was him.

What happens after that would be entirely up to the paysite owner, content producer, and their lawyers. I can't guarantee this would stand up in court, but if it did, just ONCE, it could put a nice dent in this type of piracy (at least coming out of the states).
