Imagine if mainstream tried that with Avatar!

Also, it's a piece of piss to strip out. People are now managing to strip our bugs from TV show logos so obfuscating an ip and user name would be a piece of piss. Or just editing it out. If they really want the content, they would view this cat and mouse as a game. And guess what, the content owners will always, always lose.

Piracy is bad. Treating your legitimate customers as potential thieves from the gate is bad too.
Been thinking about this overnight and maybe instead of the 127.0.0.1 thief-username watermarking a more nicer way of doing it would be to drop the IP Address and have something like This video was produced especially for username by Claudia Marie xxx.

Although without having a look this might be what's already being done and i've got the wrong end of the stick.
