Not really anything new, since even Photoshop makes it pretty easy to remove a watermark. But removing a watermark from an image and then using without permission does show intent, and I believe it also escalates the damages that can be obtained as a result.
Best advise is to now rely solely on a watermark to protect the rights to your images.

You make a great point! While watermarks can deter some people from using images without permission, they aren’t foolproof, especially with tools like Photoshop making it easier to remove them. Using a watermark should be part of a broader strategy for protecting your work.
I completely agree that if someone removes a watermark and uses the image, it does indicate intent, which can lead to stronger legal repercussions. It’s crucial for creators to consider additional measures like copyright registration, licensing agreements, or even keeping lower-resolution images online to minimize the risk.
Ultimately, relying solely on watermarks isn't enough to safeguard your rights. It’s about building a comprehensive approach to protect your images. What other strategies have you found effective in protecting your work?
