Re: Protect Pictures

Hi Eric,

No, I'm saying that people can steal your work if they want, and that there
is no way you can secure it. Comparing the WWW with a museum or other
public expo is imho wrong, since you as a fact has no, or very limited
control on who is visiting your pages! (Even so, there are still people
stealing from the museums)

All I wanted/tried to state in my first mail regarding this topic, were
that if you can't handle people stealing your work don't bother putting it
on the net. Yes it's wrong to steal, but because it's so darn easy to do it
with a few rightclicks, a lot of people does it, not thinking about the
consequences. The matter is a little diffrent when it comes to physical
things such as paintings hanging on a wall, don't you agree?

I'd like to thank Shawn Doyle for that URL
(http://www.clari.net/brad/copymyths.html) posted to the list the other
day, which in my case answerd a few questions I'd been wanting to ask :)
