From my tongue in cheek comment earlier, it engaged a conversation with DeviousMoose, some of what I sad I have said before but here it is I thought I may as well share it having typed it all at 10cph lol Here is the edited version. Unfortunately it is a big issue and a sad fact, that there is at this time no real solution to it at this time. No matter what measures you put in place, copyright notices, click boxes etc some people will flout it, including security measures. I have spent the last 18 months or so working as a volunteer with a group of professionals on this very issue, they make image security and my job is to try to steal it, the sad fact is that determined image thieves will find a way round, the only 100% secure method at this time is dont put it on the web if you dont want to risk it being stolen. Some measures are better than others and will stop all but the real determined, unfortunately these are the ones that must be stopped. Yes its a bit of a double edged sword, on the one hand everyone wants to protect their work, but on the other hand some are quite happy to steal the work of others. Having my own web site I am all to aware of how it all goes, and the expense of it all, as I sit on my moral soap box all the software I need costs me a small fortune, but thats life, if you want it I believe you have to pay for it. Having just invested in CS my bank balance is well aware of it too Magick Michael has made some good points and Dougs billion laws for 10 commandments arent so far from the truth. It is a big issue there is no conclusive answer, so I guess we will have to ride it out for now. Unfortunately its nothing new and has hit the music industry for many decades and now its the togs turn to get a slapping from it. All IMO of course LP

The Truth is Out There
