jumpstart - did you read what I said?? Was is not clear that I said law-breaking constituted appropriate action against the offender?? If an image is for sale, then THOSE circumstances would call for the person to get a royal reaming indeed. Do you also recall what djthomas said - that the image(s) he used were from the gallery - as in images that do not have a monetary value placed upon them?? My responses were based on his scenario and were expanded on only minimally. And I do know that a copyright warning, tagging, or marking of an image (or anything) is not needed for a copyright to be in effect. :) All I've really expressed is my opinions: I don't feel it's a violation of copyright to do it (because if I did, I wouldn't); I don't mind/care if it's done to me (if it needs to said be spelled out, I'm referring to the freely accessed images in my gallery); and I don't think that djthomas has done anything wrong.
