Removal from and/or replacement of a watermark on a photograph is known as plagiarism, and forbidden by law. Read more here:

We have purposefully left this FAQ temporarily unlocked, to invite addition postings of pertinent website address. Everybody has an opinion, which are not appropriate for this forum. No debates here.

We are interested in factual references, specifically internet cites. Once validated, we will add then to this post.
