Well to answer one small point that came up... James raises his hand "I do a lot of 3D artwork for professional usage." None using Poser YET. But other programs like Bryce. I have several clients that have paid for the use of my artwork. So if they saw this art popping up somewhere other than what they bought it for. I know they wouldn't be pleased. I have never gone the route of copywriting an image, because it is not worth MY time and money for the particular things I do. I'm in Advertising, and most of these images wouldn't work for anyone else but the intended party. But there have been some generic pieces I've done, that anyone could use. I DON'T put them online! And once they're in printed form, someone would have to scan them, and people think twice on that for it seems more illeagl than just grabbing from the web. printed material can be tracked to who paied for it, and who designed it. So right now, watermarking an image I might not want to be used is as far as I go. And if I really don't want to have it stollen, first I don't put it on the web, or if I MUST show it around, it is only a very low resolution image that can not be printed out with any quality larger than 4 inches or so. Again, if you don't want it stollen, don't put it out there to be stollen. And an interesting thing about a scene render ... is that you have to have the file in order to render it. In other words, The position of the models the lighting, the tex-maps, etc. So unless while in court they can run home and completly recreate your file, you'd win. James
