We(Lemmy users) are adblock users and are tired of capitalism that ruined Reddit.
All of us didn't come here to look at ads again or to entertain capitalist dreams of embedding ads everywhere.
My recommendation is clear, let's ban watermarked comics and work towards ad free community.
At the end, music don't have watermarks and neither do art. So why should comics have watermarks?
Linking to the source should be the primary way of attribution.
Did the copyright holder (i.e. the artist) give you permission to redistribute their work without attribution? If not, it's a copyright validation and illegal in most countries.
I'm not really against pirating (you would copy a car), if you are taking from the rich. But that's not the case here.
And holding back information about the source of the comic is just evil to the readers here.
