The irony of using AI to remove watermarks from photos is peak 2026. We built the tool that makes the tool irrelevant. Copyright enforcement is an arms race against physics at this point.

but you know....he goes out there, sunday morning, with his gear, standing there all day, finding a good spot to take some action pictures of the people participating such that they have something nice to share/remember. Though i assume @Sebastix had to pay some fee in order to participate, and that fee only needs to be increased marginally in order to pay the 'Sportograf' to facilitate pictures for everyone.
Man I don’t mind them tagging the picture, they did do the proof of work but this is just excessive marking it destroys the entire purpose πŸ˜‚

No, its purpose is to make the picture unusable....at which it fails given the availability of the current tech.
As an ex sport photographer shooting events almost identical to this one, I can assure you that watermarks like these are not the way 🀣
You don’t think that picture is unusable? I think they did an amazing job at destroying the picture. So much so that its more successful and classified as an advertising πŸ˜„
