Watermark

Ebaum actually didn't create this at all, he stole it and the entire site right out from under its previous owner, Evelyn Baumsfeld.

A watermark is a mark added to an image by websites who don't own the copyright on that image or have any right to claim it as their own. This is done purely to be a tremendous asshole by inconveniently forcing anyone else who wants to use the image to either find the watermark-free image that was originally stolen by the site, or to try and remove it in Photoshop. Normally, butthurt TARTlets or Ebaum whores will use this to protect their "art" or "work."

The trick is to find the image that was previously stolen. Yes, usually watermark whores steal images, put their goatse watermark on it and write journal entries on how someone always steals "their" work. The sad thing is, people usually believe them until a /b/tard or an EDiot like yourself ninja-kicks their internet ass and shows them the original stolen pictures (or just points out their art really does suck). This usually turns into butthurt but lulzworthy drama. PROTIP: If you catch one of them in their watermark faggotry, make them a page here so other EDiots can join in on the lulz!

[edit] How to be a Watermark Whore

Image with the original overlayed. Note the watermark, cause it's my talent!!

Steal an image, either from google or a good artist who has a lot of pics and doesn't care what you do
Use shoop and send up your talented logo, usually around 50% opacity
Save it and upload it to your site (cause you worked so hard to layer the watermark!)
Pat yourself on the back, you cheater
????
PROFIT!
