You don't need the deviantArt code to embed your images. If you save the whole web page as a file, the images are saved with it onto your hard drive. You can then extract the image and stick it on your website if you were so inclined and had no scruples. You could also save it to .pdf and do the same thing. You can right click and save the image, and there are ways to get around the disable right click on a site. Someone that wants to steal your image can do it just as easily without the embed code as they can with it.

Have you even made an attempt to discuss this with dA? While it's thoughtful of you to want to warn people and spread the word, it would also be polite to at least contact the dA site and let us know the result of that discussion.

It's all fun and games...
Until the flying monkeys attack!!!
