Perhaps he accidentally deleted the original. Perhaps the photograph in question was watermarked with a website name, but then the website changed name, and the only image is the one on the website. Perhaps a company lost the original. Perhaps an ex-employee of the company took the photo on company time, for the company, and when fired for surfing the internet too much during company time left on bad terms and decided to take the original with them. Technically the company owns the photograph, but would be left without the original. Lets not pre-judge reasons for wanting to remove a watermark. It could be legitimate.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] remove watermark from image
If you don't have the original image then you probably aren't legally entitled to remove the watermark. It's as simple as that... If you work for a company, as you say you do, and they've asked you to re-engineer the picture then ask them for the original rather than the watermarked version. If you don't... well, find something better to do with your life than bootlegging folks' images.

For example, a free trial of VueScan produces images with a watermark, the reason for which is obvious.
