Maserati, i kindly suggest you to protect your material with something like watermarks, signature or such...   |
Tycoon, I appreciate the good info about "thieves". When I started posting a fair amt of X6 pic's,I had a mod on another X6 forum suggest I watermark my pic's.I really didn't think much about it at first.Since I do this for fun and providing good info to forum members,and not for a living,watermarking just did not seem like a big deal.I had other forum members say they had seen my pic's all over the web.I did go ahead and buy a watermarking program.I guess in the very,very remote chance I do decide to someday become a "Spy Photographer" it would be important to be able to track and ID your pic's.I recently ( In the last couple of days) Googled "PalBay" and "X6" and "Spy Shots" in several different combinations just for fun.I was absolutely stunned at all the places my pic's have been posted.Maybe 75% had credited "PalBay a member of XYC forum".I suppose 75% is better than I would have guessed on the amt of credits you would see.I don't know what the answer is since this is not my main line of work!!!!???? Just thought I would add my "two cents" worth. Thanks. PalBay
