What if I upload a picture of the mona lisa? That belongs to them now does it?spleenalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336125968178475165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581147.post-57983823870304097212011-06-17T10:10:55.784+00:002011-06-17T10:10:55.784+00:00Hey Royston.

A US company doing it though, is an unexpected and unwelcome development that is making my cartoon-sense tingle.<br /><br />I think I will follow your example with the url, something I've avoided until now.

I usually put a URL, and often a watermark too, on images I post online these days. Doesn't stop people pinching them for blogs etc but it would hopefully deter a profit-making business like a newspaper or magazine.<br /><br />I get a fair number of requests to re-use images people have found online, and I'm sure there would be fewer if the URL wasn't there as a warning (and a way of contacting me). And people are often happy to pay (though not always of course!)Royston Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371324283924480755noreply@blogger.com
