[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 555397, member: 29446"] Foz - The Supra picture is awesome, but if it ended up as an add in a magazine without your permission, would you not want compensation? I agree that some watermarks can be removed easily or cropped out, but having something across the image (transparent, whatever) deters lesser thieves. I mean, no one wants an image of a supra with your name on going across the middle of it. Plus not every country has copyright laws or is part of the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention_for_the_Protection_of_Literary_and_Artistic_Works]Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works[/url], the international copyright treaty. I believe that was the case with the David Hobby example posted above. The magazine that was using the stolen image didn't think they were doing anything wrong in the fact, as they were from a country that doesn't have the same copyright laws as the US, or doesn't adhere to international copyright laws.
