Having had some of my renders stolen from here earlier this year...let me tell you that initially it was a shock...then I was mad...and it made me reassess my uploads. As a result, I don't upload nearly as frequently....and I will now start to upload smaller images.
As to solutions....some thoughts...
Self policing.....if you see images from folks here for sale elsewhere....send them an IM to give them a heads up....perhaps it is legitimate..then fine.
Post smaller images to prevent print theft
Perhaps an innovative watermark that Rendo puts on images seen by non "Rendo" members....yes, I know if someone wants it without the watermark then they get a Rendo acct...but at least it would make things a bit more difficult.
Thats it for now...but...I will do some more thinking....
In youth, we learn....with age, we understand.
