sorry for the question? but what’s the point of putting a watermark???

makkacchin:

Watermarks are very important anon; It’s a way to protect something you did. 

There are some bastards that in order to acquire something they don’t own, put their  watermark over YOUR WORK, they claim YOUR WORK, THEIR WORK, they’ll edit it under their taste, that’s 0 respect to the artist or graphic maker. That’s why you must watermark everything; so if one day you have to report, the proof it’s gonna be undeniable: your watermark was there and they deleted it: inexcusable.

Sometimes it’s ignorance over internet law, sometimes they do it on purpose.
