People need to get more creative in protecting their material, we've had the same lazy placement of watermarks in the bottom right corner of videos for over a decade now by most people.

Time to start being more agressive with watermarks and their placement i.e. Having watermarks in the middle of the screen for 20 seconds every couple of minutes with the watermarks changing positions each time etc.

I just find it amazing that the majority of people haven't adapted their strategy with watermarks when this shit has been going on for years with the tubes. I'll also add this point because someone will make the point "The customers don't like that"

Spend a bit of money, make some impressive animated graphical watermarks that look awesome, check out Youtube there are 1000s of people creating amazing videos with a high end professional look.

Honestly even as a surfer it frustrates me the removal of watermarks from tube sites, there has been a number of times I've seen a video and thought "What site is that from" because I wanna check the site but can't because the watermark has been removed.

Hopefully I've made my 2000th post a useful one!

Get creative folks
