pet peeve - lose the watermark!

Is anyone as tired as I am of seeing otherwise gorgeous shots ruined with a gigantic watermark right in the center of the image?
For heaven's sake, don't put them on the internet to share if you are afraid of someone stealing them. Do you understand image resolution and that its not possible to use a web quality image for many commercial applications?
In my opinion, people who do this do more harm than good by masking the image and showing distrust for the world. Do you really think you would make any money for a photo from the type of people who would otherwise steal it for their own use?
Your thoughts welcome, I've personally stopped viewing galleries that do this.
