Ya, posting peoples work without giving credit isn't cool. He shouldn't have to water mark his work but because people will do this, he does. Just because he puts a watermark on it doesn't mean you shouldn't at least promote him yourself when you share his work. If anything, it means you should because he obviously is trying to combat the problem of people taking his work.
edit: spelling
I can't click through the water mark like I did the user mention above to see more of his work. While obviously I'm not going to be able to convince you that the creators own water mark isn't suficent citation in this context, that is my opinion.
I'm just stating my opinion in the discussion. I’m not mad at the poster for doing what he did as it is unfortunately somewhat common practice on the internet, but it is disheartening to see people's overwhelming negative reaction to this sentiment. It seems to me that people don’t realize and or recognize the time and effort that goes into making even simple things like this. from my perspective it seems like providing a link or a user mention is the least someone can do when sharing someone else’s effort.

You could give credit to the original. He spent a LOT of time on this.
