Perhaps fix your authentification system ?

When someone points out that DRM can and will be broken your reply is 
that you aren't looking for a 100% unbreakable system, rather something 
strong enough to dissuade most people. Here's talk of a non-DRM solution 
to dissuade people from sharing illegaly and suddenly the system needs 
to be 100% unbreakable.


Also, if a watermarked copy is leaked because of a stolen password then 
at least it will be possible to inform that user and ask him/her to 
change their password.


And one last thing, it will be MUCH easier to break the DRM than to 
steal someone else's password, not to mention the risks of getting 
caught using someone elses credentials, which is probably more 
reprehensible than sharing a file.
