"Look up "trifle" in a good big dictionary" I think even a bad small dictionary would have "trifle" in it. ;) "so what youre saying is, that during my last visit to an art gallery when i photographed a variety of sculptures and paintings, ive committed a copyright infringement?" Very possibly, yes, depending on the nature of the art. Help me out here - I'm not getting snotty, but what is about the concept of "just LOOK" that people don't get? :) It's not your right to take away anything at all from a viewing experience except for a memory. Hey, I'm not saying I'm whiter than white here. I have dozens of Vallejo and Bell images on my HD for my viewing only, but I'm not trying to convince myself that I have a right to have them there. I know it's wrong. My point being that taking steps to safeguard the artwork of the few should not be vetoed by the masses who are doing things they really should not do. Personally, people I'm bothered about are not those who just download images for themselves, but those who pass them off as their own, or use them without permission on their sites. As for the argument that these people know how to get around image grabbing security - why should this be true? They're so talentless they can't even product their own art, so why should anyone believe they're fully familiar with the intricacies of browser technology? "...if someone is so against it, then they should refrain from posting their art in public galleries and just paint it and keep it locked up in a safe at home where noone can ever see it." As in, "Don't post your art unless you mind it being stolen?" I don't think that's much of a solution. One option would simply to have an checkbox on everyone's Rendo home page, saying whether they wanted security on their images or not. Security could mean anything from right-click disable to image server request validation, overlay GIFs, etc. I don't know how Rendo is organised - perhaps heavy security would be too much of a task - but deterred security as an option would be simple to put in place.
