[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 555406, member: 2960"] If I really wanted to post an image or an image gallery, and I didn't want to have the images stolen or "borrowed", I would: [LIST] [*]lower the quality and image size as low as I could without losing too much detail [*]Watermark it (and possibly include the copyright symbol in it, though not really necessary) [*]NOT post in on a social site like Flickr or MySpace or Photobucket and the like (sites like these have 'clauses' in their TOS that sometimes actually say you waive all intellectual ownership if you post on them or that by using their site you grant the site permission to distribute your work without any additional consent from you {Flickr being one of the latter}) [*]embed it in a Flash player or othewise code the HTML page to disallow right-clicking (this does deter some people) [*]place a statement of copyright on the page (again, though not really necessary, it does help to drive home the message for some) [/LIST] If I really don't care about the images, I will post them anywhere and not make a fuss about any of it.
