It's a lot of work to protect your intellectual property in a networked world, and probably only worth it if that is how you make your living.
Good point and very well understood. I was just stating that anything that come out on the internet, can and will be copied!! At the races, all photograpers watermark and post very small low res images. Only after you buy them, you can get the full blow pics.. However, peeps like you and I, if I can say that, when we post our pictures, they can and will be copied, even photochop too..
Like you say, if you make your living at it, you must do it.
Again, good point...
