I post them myself, watermarked. If someone wants a low res upload, they're welcome to snag it for personal use. I don't bring my laptop, just memory cards and my hyperdrive, so it's not like they can even take them unless I give them a memory card, which ain't happenin'!!!!
 
I saw on another sight that someone had “removed the water Mark” when reposting someone else’s photo without giving credit. How low does this go?
 
There was/is a person going by the handles idivechick and Sarah who spammed every scuba and photo board promoting scubamagazine.net. He/she collected photos from several sites, cut off watermarks and even offered them for sale on his/her Photobucket account. His/her site is still up but I haven't looked at it for years so I don't know if they still do that.

Well, generally if you start at the ankles and work your way up to the knees, they tend to get the point before the baseball bat gets to their nether regions.... So pretty low.
