I think being against anyone even using an image as wallpaper is rather extreme but people have the right to feel that way. As has been pointed out however, technically, we would all have to empty our browser caches after every visit to Renderosity. Even then, for a certain period, the image is probably still going to be there until that part of the disk is overwritten. In order to avoid steping on someone's toes, we would have to reformat or secure wipe our drives every time we visited the galleries, just to avoid having a dreaded copy. Irregardless of DMCA and other legal issues, a little common sense need to prevail. If anyone is that close with their images that they can only be viewed on-line in real time, freshly downloaded and then purged, then I agree that perhaps the internet is not the ideal environment for them to use for displaying those images. Of course, the Navajo have a cure for the problem. Their sacred sand paintings are created and then destroyed on the same day.
