Quote - Again, I ask, how does it harm you when or if someone saves an image you posted in a public gallery?
So, if I like your artwork, you don't mind if I download it and print myself some posters, right?
I mean it's much cheaper and convenient then contacting you and asking you for permission and paying you for the trouble, and also, this way I avoid you realizing that if people really like them, you might be able to sell them.
Then I can tell 100 of my friends they can do the same - beacause of course, it is on your online gallery afterall. Why bother you with potentially selling prints of your work.
I mean, no harm done, since you're not selling them right now, and whom in their right mind would put an image of what they want to resell online anyway.
Anyway, above is an illustration of using your logic. As you can see, there CAN be harm done. Immediate or future.
