I take ur word for it clay but i'm currently having a new site put together by a friend of mine and i asked her about protecting images and she gave me a couple of examples of watermark protection, one of them is basically a large see thru rectangle which covers about a quarter of the poster (lightening the area behind it) and the other alternative was the rectangle but with the artists name and copyright written on it in big horrible letters. i thought both options would ruin the look of the site and didn't bother with them cause after all, if someone takes a print of it and blows it up,its gonna look pretty blurry and crappy anyway, i guess the file size of the illo used on that other poster was big enough to give a sharpish reproduction. i think basically we can't stop anyone doing it, the laws are there but people don't really see it as a big deal and do it anyway, its just up to peoples conscience when its all done and dusted.
