Quote - my take on this is - people will steal no matter if there is an embedded code or not...i have a gallery there, it doesn't bother me. i have found some of my work stolen already before they even did the code. infact, i'm not even sure whether they stole it here or in DA. thieves will steal no matter what.

But I suppose the problem is that if the embed code is there they are not stealing the art because they have the sites authority to download it.

I would have said it was OK for DA to do this so long as it was switched off and you yourself had to decide to switch it on.
