And well Sparky you must be verry well informed about those Vip Sharing sites ... Sadly I have to visit the darkside because people steal the work of the artists I sell. When I find that stolen stuff, I try to close these sites down, simple as that. mrsparky if you take a picture of a tatoo on an arm, who is the originall owner of that digital Item ... the one who made the Picture or the one who has the actuall tatoo ??? Good question, which shows how complex copyright it, and the answer is both. The tatoo artist retains the rights to the original image. The photographer retains the rights to their photo. If the artist objects the photographer can't use that photo. It's also the same with other objects. For example photos of the effiel tower at night isn't allowed here, because thats what the owners of the tower have said. But how many people have photographed that? So yes you're right copyright is incredibly complex and confusing. That said we have to respect it, we can't make up our own abartity rules to suit what we want to do.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
