Theme Diva and Andrew are probably right about the web, a persistent web-nerd thief will circumvent, but at least honest people will be prevented from abusing copyright material.

If a person needs to do business today, you almost have to be on the web.

The suggest for watermarking the images before up load is a good one! Thank you.

Life did not used to be this complicated back in the 50’s and 60’s… but then we didn’t have home computers then either! I worked with computers as big as moderate houses!

Thanks to all for your input.

Andrew, there are plug-ins that somewhat change the way the web works, and will block downloading or saving media files. That is what the fineart websites use.

Andrew Nevins, if your answer above was accurate, there would be no photographers’ or artists’ websites on the web. How would they support themselves if everybody could copy their artwork and print it for themselves? Fortunately there are ways to protect copyrighted works.

Novices who are only doing the artwork for fun and don’t need any income probably don’t care, but most of us can not give away our work and survive. Other businesses who sell on the internet are usually not selling printed material. Even e-books are protected.

I am glad you are not right.
