Billys right - It's not a case of looking the other way, or disrergarding copyright. it's a question of trying to find a fair balance.
Thats where a creative commons copyright licence is a really good idea. For example it would allow an invidual to enjoy one of your images as their wallpaper, and at the same time provide a level of protection against a ringtone company selling it without your permission.
Many of these sites purchase large collection of images from companies that provides a 'ringtone/wallpaper site in a box'. and often assume that the copyright was cleared.
By showing such a dated licence you'll find most reputable ringtone compnaies will comply with your DMCA without any hassles.
