I think the mods mean well with this and congrats to them for trying to do something about the problem.

However, I think the current solution hurts the majority (who are honest users) and does little if anything to stop image piracy.

Anyone in the business of stealing images probably knows all the tricks and a few besides. And if they did not they will learn them in this thread and elsewhere.

The only net result of this measure will be the vast majority of Renderosity gallery browsers and the artists posting annoyed at the new measures because of the inconvenience.

Unless of course this measure is really about reducing bandwidth costs to Renderosity by disabling people from opening multiple windows....but then that is another story.
