Thats certainly a good principle, though I don't think anyone would object to it as long as it is limited.
I guess it would be fine if we get a checkbox when uploading, that allows us to opt out if we don't want this information added to our files.
Of course it won't stop anyone, but...
1. it increases the necessary effort (if they remove the file from the zip)
2. it makes theft easier to spot and provides people with a link to this site (if the files don't get removed)
3. if they do remove the file from the zip, then not only do they steal your content, they also tamper with it without permission. That turns it into a more serious matter, which makes it easier to do something about it.

Now I'm curious, which Kerbal-addon was that?
