That could even get them into trouble from Hasbro, but more importantly makes them the laughing stock of other fansites, as it shows desperation to regain some competitive ratings... instead of inspiring fans to voluntarily support that fansite.

If they have an exclusive of something, I'll refer to their site on a News item, but if both Global fansites have it, I'll use TFW as the default, because they have the enforced rule of crediting their sources (like we do).
They really should credit other sites and peoples photos, which they sometimes do, especially after he goes on in their podcasts about other people using his photos.
In this case I get it though, Seibertron is this guys way of making money for his family, I'm guessing that most of that is click traffic, it's not unlike a news paper to actually pay someone for an exclusive photo.
I also have a feeling that the second photo which is the one with the seibertron watermark is probably paid for to some small amount based on the way it's written up.
