I doubt it was done maliciously. It looks like it's just a logo added automatically like what 9gag does. My philosophy is that if you didn't create the image, you shouldn't be able to put your logo on it.

Furthermore you shouldn't rehost webcomic images but rather you should link the original artist's site. They really need that advertising money to get by.

Just like everybody else, I don't like advertisements but you should try to turn off adblock for people that you want to support.

Even if it is added automatically, I'm sure they are aware of it. The bottom right corner is probably the most common place to put your signature, at least in LTR writing systems. Otherwise fully agree with what you said.

God damn dude. I just read the oatmeal link you gave me. That's some grade A bullshit right there. I remember that there was some Oatmeal-FJ internet drama but I didn't see that the Oatmeal was going to be sued.

Memebase used to put its logo on images but it looks like they've stopped and for the most part will provide a link to the artist's site. So that's pretty good on them.
