Are you blind? You can see the credits in the image.

No that watermark is the only reason i even found the original link, but most people wouldnt notice it, especially when the image is so small on bitcointalk and the watermark is very light

yeah but to be fair the poster may have different settings on his monitor and the watermark could be clearly visible to him.

Now as a I don't know the guy and don't care one way or the other about him I can see the watermark on my screen.

PS I am colorblind and I have had double cataract surgery so if I can see it its clear enough. I see no issue with what he did.

This plagiarizing concept of Bitcointalk has gone too far already. In all other instances I am aware, outside of here, the plagiarizing only exists when you do indeed ACTIVELY attribute the content to yourself in some way or another. Just cut&pasting something you see on the interwebs without any further attribution of authory wouldn't cut it, more so when there is no other motivation than just to share/spread the original "work". Otherwise twitter and many other social networks would have a big trouble with this.

That being said, the image posted already includes a copyright (not a hidden watermark) that is as visible as the original author intended it to be. If he wanted it to be more visible he could have chosen more solid colours and or font size.

Nothing to see here.

Also, Swaystar, if you had any concerns about it... it probably would have been more polite to just PM the poster and I am sure he wouldn't have any problem in making it more obvious it was a shared content and maybe even add a source link.
