  Not true however if you actually own the image then it’s unlikely to have a watermark

    Is the photo of the image on my device? If so I own it. If you take a photo of it you own that photo as well.

      Let me get this straight - if a vengeful ex or someone else gets a hand on naked pictures of you, they can do whatever they want to them? You wouldn’t want any limits on their ability to alter them and spread them?

        Nope, that would be sexual harassment if they spread them if it was truly awful they could also be hit for liable as well. However, if they kept it on their device and never showed anyone they can do what they want.

        There is a difference between owning a hammer and hitting someone with a hammer.

      I’m sure that’s how it works in your ideal world or imaginationland. But you do realise there’s like no legal basis for this in the real world, right? Just because you downloaded an Iron man torrent, does not mean you own part of the MCU.

    Not true

    Why not? I can tear out the copyright section of book I own, how is removing a watermark different?

    Reproduction is the primary complaint, but if I don’t distribute it that’s invalid.
