You're still missing the point by use of phrases such as 'blatantly take', 'for themselves', 'some sort of recognition'. 'Recognition' implies showing/distributing to others which is NOT what's being talked about and is, in fact, illegal. In fact you have no right to tell anyone what they can do on their own machines for themselves in private. Noone is saying it's okay to redistribute your work. What harm is done to you? I can pull any image from the gallery out of my cache and put a mustache on Vicky. As long as it stays on my harddrive I have a perfect right to do so.
