[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 64091, member: 9521"] I found this website this morning while reading a thread on a photo contest site. A "photographer" posted a beautiful photo of kids playing with a can that ultimately won the contest. Days later it was pointed out the photo was stolen. It's hard to imagine someone entering a contest with a stolen image but I was doubly floored when I read this thread on the blatant theft of images by so-called "professional" photographers. [url=http://stopstealingphotos.tumblr.com/]Photo Stealers[/url] I have never been a fan of watermarks and just assume that posting a small pixel image will be enough to keep it from being stolen. I'm beginning to wonder whether I should revisit the idea of watermarking even with small images. [/QUOTE]
