I think it's also crucial to point out that Fair Use is different for lots of countries, especially the US and UK. Site owners need to be aware of the laws that apply in their country.

My hope as a photo creator is that my work DOES get stolen, and by a lucrative thief with a good site... Doesn’t it make sense that if you absolutely don’t want your work absconded, maybe you should make right click saving it impossible. It’s just so silly.</blockquote> Howard, perhaps you should read the blog post you are commenting on then. There is an appropriate license for those who want their work "stolen". Also, just so you know, in addition to it being impossible to make an image viewable and unsavable at the same time, that attitude is similar to saying that because someone didn't spend $100k on a security system they deserve to have rob their house. Property and rights are concepts that you either believe extend to the digital realm, or you don't. It boils down to permission, not benefit.

To me it boils down to who's getting paid. The creator and the thief seem to have potential for payment no matter how the photo is used. Most of these photos wouldn't even see the light of day without thievery. If you're using the photo for decoration the idea would be that it would drive traffic to the thief site in turn possibly generating revenue. In turn, the creator gets free publicity. My hope as a photo creator is that my work DOES get stolen, and by a lucrative thief with a good site. Then all I have to do as good a job getting my work exposed on a paying basis that I control. Doesn't it make sense that if you absolutely don't want your work absconded, maybe you should make right click saving it impossible. It's just so silly. If I photograph an apple, it's still an apple no matter where it's placed. If it's unique, and not an apple anymore...then who'd really want to eat it anyway without getting used to it. Enforcing the monetary damages for something like this becomes even sillier since anyone robbing an image could not likely afford to generate original work, so all you get is a cease and desist out of it. Zero sum in my book. I’ve given the whole web photo stealing idea some thought. To me it boils down to who’s getting paid.

Sourcing imagery can be a time consuming process - finding the right image can make or break a design. Once you have found the best image its only right to seek permission to use the image - this is essential. Thank you for the post.

I know many of my city daily photo community have started watermarking all their images, some discretely and some very obviously. When I started my photoblog I certainly did not realise how many images were taken, often with no credit/link. If people ask, I would most likely be agreeable to them using my photos.
